Description:
Trailblazing Women Who Made Texas Jewish History
Grit & Grace is a feature length documentary that transcends the traditional Texas historical narrative, exploring the impact of forward thinking and influential Jewish women who, in their own way, worked to make life better for all in the Lone Star State. It is a meditation on the delicate and often complicated dance of female, Jewish and Texan identities.
The state of Texas is vast and wide. Stetsons, longhorns, windmills, and wildflowers dot the landscape. Synagogues, torahs and menorahs, not so much. Yet since the days of the Republic, in every corner of the Lone Star State, there have been smart and determined Jewish women uniting these seemingly disparate cultural elements. These are the stories of those remarkable women. These are stories of Grit & Grace.
Five Inspiring Stories
Olga Kohlberg, Gussie Oscar, Ray K. Daily, Fania Kruger, and Frances Kallison. Grit & Grace explores how these women through their generosity of spirit, dedication to their communities, intellectual and artistic curiosity, and true grit elevated Texas from a scrappy, start up Republic to a diverse and dynamic powerhouse of a state.

Description:
In the last few years, it has become common for writers and commentators to examine intersections between crimes against Jews in Nazi Germany and anti-Black racism in the U.S. Indeed, in conversations, popular books, and films like Origin (2022) one hears that the “Nazis got their ideas from the American South.” In his talk, Jonathan Wiesen will address this claim by exploring the benefits, misunderstandings, and pitfalls of studying the Holocaust and Jim Crow racism together.

Description:
Hebrew Culture Responding to Violence: Before and After October 7
Jewish and Hebrew culture has always reflected and responded to the turbulent and often violent history of the Jewish people, from ancient persecutions to modern conflicts. In recent years, violence has once again profoundly shaped Jewish life and identity, particularly following the events of October 7 and the ongoing aftermath. This lecture series examines how Hebrew culture has grappled with violence across different eras and contexts, from the lived experiences of contemporary artists to the collective memory embedded in literature and history. By exploring these diverse perspectives, we will consider the varied ways Hebrew culture has and continues to process, memorialize and respond to violence in its many forms.
Paving Her Own Path: A Story of an American Israeli Public Artist
In this presentation, Anat Ronen will speak about her career, before and after October 7. She will reflect on how her being Israeli has stirred up her career, how she has coped with the October 7 horrors, how she is coping today with the ongoing harassment, isolation and discrimination and how her personal experience reflects the story of all of us.
Anat Ronen is a mural artist who has been living in Houston since 2007. Her artistic career is intertwined with her immigration story. Anat is a secular Israeli who never thought too much of her Judaism or Israeli origin. Her art is not Israeli or Jewish. After Anat’s career received some attention, her background was used by some to incite campaigns against her, circulate lies and even organize protests against her and the studio complex where she co-rents a tiny unit.

Description:
As a teenager, Ruth Cohen and her family, along with other Jews, were forced from their home into a ghetto in what was then Hungary. About a month later, German authorities deported them to the Auschwitz-Birkenau killing center, where Ruth was assigned to work as a courier, delivering guards’ messages throughout the camp. She credits her survival during several months at Auschwitz to her job as a messenger but endured two more camps, forced labor, and a serious illness before liberation.
This year, Ruth, at 94, returned to Auschwitz for the first time and proclaimed, “I am here!” defying the Nazis. Watch Ruth speak about her experiences and the meaning of her recent trip.

Description:
In her memoir, Family Treasures Lost and Found, journalist Karen A. Frenkel investigates her relatives’ unspoken stories of survival and the extremely unlikely odds of escaping the Nazis. Family Treasures is her detective story; an intergenerational sleuthing adventure using journalistic and genealogical research techniques to fill gaps in her family’s unspoken wartime tales. This memoir is more than a personal story, though; Karen provides historical and cultural context to her parents’ and sole-surviving grandfather’s unusual plights. They were not interned in concentration camps and survived through cunning and luck, which underscores their renewed relevance to displaced persons today. Her astonishing revelations document her family’s travails while enslaved or hounded across Europe, Cuba, Mexico, and to New York and Palestine. They illuminate the hidden truths surrounding tragic losses. Family Treasures also covers the pre-war culture of assimilated Polish Jews, enabled by an inherited collection of family portraits in oil and pastel, hundreds of photographs, documents and artifacts brought here by her great-grandparents, who escaped Berlin in late 1940. Karen also details ferocious antisemitism, key moments in WWII, resistance to fascism, altruism, serendipity, and great loss. Ultimately, Karen solves many mysteries, honors her parents and the lost, and is rewarded with a deep sense of connection to those she never met.
Frenkel will be in conversation about her book with Dr. Eva Fogelman.
Karen A. Frenkel is a technology journalist, editor, author, and documentary producer. In addition to writing Family Treasures Lost and Found, Karen has produced two versions of a tie-in documentary with the same title.

In-person registration includes a 7 p.m. program. Attendees are welcome to tour the Kindertransport exhibition before and after the program.
Join us for a powerful family presentation by Melanie Kuhr Myers, who will share the extraordinary story of her mother, Susanne Levy, who escaped Nazi Germany as a child on the Kindertransport, and her grandmother, Ruth Levy, who fought tirelessly to save them both. Through personal letters, official documents, and artifacts - including Susanne's small monogrammed backpack - Myers will retrace their harrowing journey from Berlin to England, and eventually to the United States. Their story is one of survival, separation, and the strength of three generations of Jewish women. In remembering their path, we are reminded of the human cost of indifference-and the enduring power of hope.Tickets

About Kindertransport – Rescuing Children from the Brink of War
Kindertransport – Rescuing Children on the Brink of War showcases the astonishing rescue effort that, in nine months, brought thousands of unaccompanied children from Nazi-occupied Europe to the United Kingdom. Through personal artifacts, stories, and firsthand testimony, those who lived through the “Kindertransport,” German for “children’s transport,” tell its history. The exhibition offers a moving look at the rescue effort, the painful choices parents made to send their children to safety, and the lives their children began in the United Kingdom. This exhibition serves as a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of honoring the legacy of those who endured unimaginable suffering.
Kindertransport – Rescuing Children on the Brink of War was created and organized by Yeshiva University Museum and the Leo Baeck Institute – New York | Berlin.
On view from September 18, 2025 to February 15, 2026.

Hebrew Culture Responding to Violence: Before and After October 7Jewish and Hebrew culture has always reflected and responded to the turbulent and often violent history of the Jewish people, from ancient persecutions to modern conflicts. In recent years, violence has once again profoundly shaped Jewish life and identity, particularly following the events of October 7 and the ongoing aftermath. This lecture series examines how Hebrew culture has grappled with violence across different eras and contexts, from the lived experiences of contemporary artists to the collective memory embedded in literature and history. By exploring these diverse perspectives, we will consider the varied ways Hebrew culture has and continues to process, memorialize and respond to violence in its many forms.
H.N. Bialik and the Poetry of Slaughter: Then and Now
In April 1903, the Jewish community of the Bessarabian town of Kishinev experienced one of the worst pogroms of the time. Hayim Nahman Bialik (1873-1934), Israel’s would-be national poet, responded with two defining poems: “On the Slaughter” [‘Al ha-shḥitah], an immediate response to the massacre, and “In the City of Slaughter” [Be’ir ha-harigah] a written later that year after his visit to Kishinev as head of a delegation of Hebrew authors. The two Hebrew poems became cornerstones of the Zionist movement, galvanizing a new ethos of Jewish self-defense. More than 120 years later, the poems continue to resonate throughout Jewish and Israeli history as among the most poignant Hebrew cultural responses to violence. This talk will explore the cultural history of these poems, their continuing relevance and various appropriations and misappropriations across different moments, and what insights they may offer us about the violence of our own time. The poems will be read and discussed in English translations alongside the Hebrew originals.
Ido Telem is the Samuel W. and Goldye Marian Spain Postdoctoral Fellow in Jewish Studies at Rice University. He specializes in modern Hebrew and German literature and thought, with a focus on the cultural history of Zionism. He recently completed his Ph.D. in Comparative Literature at the University of Chicago, where his dissertation examined how modern Hebrew authors looked to German philosophy to guide the revival of Hebrew culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Ido’s research has been published in the Yearbook for European Jewish Literature Studies.

Join American Jewish Committee (AJC) for a timely conversation with Pamela S. Nadell, award-winning historian and author of Antisemitism, an American Tradition. In her powerful new book, Nadell traces nearly four centuries of antisemitism in the United States from the arrival of the first Jewish settlers in 1654 to today’s alarming resurgence. She reveals how prejudice has shaped Jewish life in America and how generations of Jews have fought back through advocacy, legal action, and solidarity. At a moment of rising hate, Nadell’s insights shed urgent light on the deep roots of antisemitism in America and the enduring resilience of the American Jewish experience.
