SUMMARY:Woman in Gold at Temple Emanu-El of Sarasota
DESCRIPTION:CO-COUNSEL FOR “WOMAN IN GOLD” CASE TO SPEAK AT TEMPLE EMANU-EL OF SARASOTA \nThe Adult Education Committee in cooperation with The Florida Holocaust Museum is excited to present an evening with renowned attorney Don Burris\, the senior attorney who successfully argued the Woman in Gold legal case before the U.S. Supreme Court. Burris will give an in-depth look at the historical Woman in Gold art restitution case\, argued before the U.S. Supreme Court and an arbitration panel in Vienna\, as well as other art restitution cases.   \nDon Burris was the senior attorney in the case\, later featured in the 2015 film Woman in Gold\, starring Helen Mirren.  These proceedings made headlines during the 1980’s when Maria Altman claimed that the Austrian government had stolen six Gustav Klimt paintings from her family when they were forced to flee during the Nazi annexation of Austria. Included in the paintings was the portrait of her aunt\, referred to as the “Woman in Gold.” After the war\, the Austrian government contended that the six Klimt paintings had been willed to the federal art museum\, the Galerie Belvedere\, a claim proved to be untrue. In 1999\, Altmann began her legal battle to have the painting returned to her family.  Her suit resulted in the 2004 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Altmann V. Republic of Austria.   \nFor the past fourteen years\, Mr. Burris has devoted his career to the pursuit of art works and other assets stolen by the Nazi authorities before and during World War II. On April 7 at The FHM\, Mr. Burris will discuss his work as co-counsel on the “Woman in Gold” case in a lecture entitled “Triumph from Tragedy: Restitution of Stolen Cultural Property.”  \nThis event is open to the community. Bring your own lunch and beverage. No reservations required.  \nFor further information\, please email: dan@barwick.us.

SUMMARY:Bent\, by Martin Sherman- A Staged Reading
DESCRIPTION:The Florida Holocaust Museum presents a staged reading of “Bent\,” performed by A Simple Theatre on Tuesday\, March 15th\, at 7:00 pm. \n“Bent” is a 1979 play by Martin Sherman\, and its title refers to the slang word “bent” used in some European countries to refer to homosexuals. Bent revolves around the persecution of gays in Nazi Germany\, and takes place during and after the Night of the Long Knives\, sometimes called Operation Hummingbird\, when the Nazi regime carried out a three-day series of political ex-judicial executions. \nAt least 85 people died during the purge\, although the final death toll may have been in the hundreds\, and more than a thousand perceived opponents were arrested. The night was a turning point for the German government that established Hitler as “the supreme judge of the German people\,” as he put in his July 13\, 1934 speech to the Reichstag. \nPlay Synopsis: \nIn 1934 Berlin on the eve of the Nazi incursion\, Max\, a grifter and his lover Rudy are recovering from a night of debauchery with a SA trooper. Two soldiers burst into the apartment and slit their guest’s throat\, beginning a nightmare odyssey through Nazi Germany. \nProduced with and performed by A Simple Theatre at The Florida Holocaust Museum. This performance is for mature audiences only. \nTo purchase tickets\, visit asimpletheatre.org or call (727) 864-7811.

SUMMARY:Lisl Schick Day: WEDU “Be More Involved” Award Winner!
DESCRIPTION:Be More Involved | Mason Dixon Award for Volunteerism\nMrs. Schick will recount her amazing journey from Vienna to England to the United States at 1pm on March 1.  A regularly scheduled docent tour of the Museum’s permanent exhibition will begin at 2pm. \nMrs. Schick was selected as the winner of this year’s WEDU Be More Involved | Mason Dixon Award for Volunteerism. In honor of this wonderful accomplishment\, Lisl Schick Day will take place on March 1\, 2016 at The Florida Holocaust Museum. A percentage of all admission on this day go to educational programs that Lisl Schick supports! \nLisl Schick was born in Vienna\, Austria in 1927. \nIn 1939\, at age eleven\, she and her seven year old brother escaped Nazi-occupied Austria on a Kindertransport train for England\, where they lived for six years before being reunited with their parents in New York. \n This life-defining experience has led Mrs. Schick to volunteer hundreds of hours speaking at schools and with tour groups at The Florida Holocaust Museum. She translates staggering numbers into an individual story\, situating it in historical context for audiences and emphasizing how we all have the potential to make a positive difference through upstander behavior. \nSharing her testimony with children who are the same age she was during the Holocaust is a powerful teaching tool\, something to which students attest in their thank you letters: \n\n“You showed us responsibility and maturity. I was intrigued when I heard that you\, a young girl at the time\, could be so responsible and uplifting to your brother on the train. This is meaningful to people because they could look back and act like you did.”\n“I intend to use this information in the future so that I will not be a bystander if someone is getting bullied.”\n\nTo honor local educators Mrs. Schick sponsors the annual Walter Porges Teacher Appreciation Evening in memory of her brother. She also serves on The Florida Holocaust Museum’s Board of Directors and the annual gala committee. \n In addition Mrs. Schick helped found the Ruth Eckerd Performing Arts Center\, serving on its first Board of Directors. She helped establish Planters\, the women’s educational and fundraising branch for the Morton Plant/Mease Foundation. She held leadership roles for the Pinellas County Medical Auxiliary\, American Cancer Society\, and Hadassah\, for which she was the first elected National Vice President from the State of Florida.
