Description:
Sam grew up in Salonika, Greece. When the Nazis entered Greece, Sam and his family were forced to move into the ghetto by Germans after Passover in 1943. Keeping a promise with his friend Jacques that they would stay together no matter what, Sam took the place of Jacques’ brother when the two were summoned to work forced labor. Sam and Jacques were taken to a concentration camp where they later escaped during their daily work laying down railroad tracks and ultimately joined the resistance.

Description:
What happened to the thousands of abandoned Jewish cemeteries and places of worship that remained in Poland after the Holocaust? How are they perceived, experienced, and interacted with by Polish society from 1945 to the present? In Poland, where the void left in the wake of a near-total disappearance of its former Jewish population is most vivid—and where the Nazi “Final Solution” took its shape and form—the remaining Jewish material traces have come to embody both the absence of the Jews and their haunting presence. Join Chilik Weizman to discuss the afterlives of the thousands of Jewish communal heritage sites scattered throughout Poland’s postwar landscape, trace the social, political, and cultural history of how Poles have interacted with their presence, and see the extent to which the sites evoke unsettling memories and conflicting perceptions of the Holocaust and Polish-Jewish reactions.

Description:
Join Alison de Lima Greene, MFAH curator, for an introduction to the remarkable arc of Lempicka’s career as she rose to the pinnacle of café society in 1920s and 1930s Paris, and her American odyssey after she fled Europe in 1939.
Capturing the glamour and vitality of 1920s postwar Paris and the cosmopolitan sheen of Hollywood celebrity, Tamara de Lempicka (1894–1980) infused her paintings with a brilliant sense of fashion, design, and the theatrical. Currently the subject of the first retrospective devoted to her work in the United States, organized by the San Francisco Fine Arts Museums and currently on view at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Lempicka’s singular contribution to the history of modernism is only now becoming widely known.
Born Tamara Rosa Hurwitz in Poland in an era of fierce anti-Semitism, she learned at an early age to conceal her Jewish ancestry. In 1916, she married a Polish aristocrat, Tadeusz Lempicki, and the two settled briefly in St. Petersburg before fleeing to Paris in the wake of the Russian Revolution. Faced with the need to earn money, Lempicka determined to become an artist: she first presented her paintings at the Salon d’Automne in 1922 under the name “Monsieur Łempitzky,” and then more forthrightly as “Tamara de Lempicka” as she established an internationally acclaimed career.
Lempicka’s second marriage, to Austro-Hungarian Baron Raoul Kuffner-de Diószegh, granted her the title “Baroness Kuffner,” the name she took with her to the United States in 1939 in advance of the German invasion of Paris. After 1945 Lempicka divided her time between New York, Paris, and Houston where her daughter Kizette had settled, and she spent her final years in Cuernavaca, Mexico.
Alison de Lima Greene is the Isabel Brown Wilson Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, where she has served on the curatorial staff since 1984. A member of the curatorial team responsible for the inaugural presentations in the MFAH’s new Nancy and Rich Kinder Building in 2020, her recent exhibitions include Philip Guston Now, organized in collaboration with the National Gallery of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Tate London.Ms. Greene was a 2010 Fellow at the Center for Curatorial Leadership and has served as vice president and trustee of the Association of Art Museum Curators; she is currently on the advisory boards of the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College and The Barnett Newman Foundation.

Description:
Holocaust survivor Ninetta Feldman remembers fleeing her aunt’s house and hiding in an ancient Greek fortress to keep safe from the falling bombs during World War II. As life grew more dangerous for Jews living in their town of Agrinio, Ninetta and her family sought refuge in a remote mountain village controlled by the Greek resistance. To evade Nazi German patrols, they often retreated further up the mountain, hiding in caves and the forest. Then, one day in 1944, they witnessed Nazi troops burning the village below, their last safe haven. Watch to discover what happened next to Ninetta and her family.

Description:
On the seemingly ordinary Saturday morning of January 15, 2022, a terrorist stormed Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville TX during a live-streamed service, taking a group of innocent worshippers hostage. The hostages endured a harrowing 11-hour ordeal that captured the world's attention. Join the courageous Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker and award-winning writer-director Dani Menkin to discuss this incident, as well as the gripping film "Colleyville" that they made about it using footage from the live stream and audio and video from security cameras in a rare view from inside the hostage situation.
The film, which explores the complexities of hate crimes and antisemitism, is a story of inspiration and resilience. The film will be made available for a limited advanced screening to those who register for the webinar. Please look for a separate email containing the viewing link to be sent a few days before the webinar. A 2-minute trailer can be seen here: https://vimeo.com/953006306
