SUMMARY:Book Talk: “A Woman’s Story of Survival: Franci’s War”
DESCRIPTION:The FHM is pleased to welcome prize-winning 2G journalist and author Helen Epstein for a virtual presentation about  her mother’s book: FRANCI’S WAR. Available in paperback\, e-book and audio format\, it is a powerful and compelling read by a Czech Jew who survived the war as a dressmaker and electrician. This program is held in association with The FHM’s newest exhibition Stitching History from the Holocaust. \nFranci Rabinek Epstein wrote her Holocaust memoir in the 1970s but after it was rejected by several publishers\, gave it to her daughter. Helen used it as source material. Helen used it in Children of the Holocaust and Where She Came From. In 2018\, prompted by #MeToo and inquiries into her mother’s story\, Helen revisited the manuscript\, annotated it\, and sold it to ten publishers around the world. \nLate author Franci Rabinek was 19 years old when\, in  March of 1939\,  the German Army entered Prague. That day began her six-year journey from Prague to Terezin\, to the Czech family camp in Auschwitz-Birkenau\, to slave labor camp in Hamburg\, and to Bergen Belsen where she was liberated by the British. \nIn this memoir\, she offers her intense\, candid\, and sometimes funny account of those dark years\, with the women prisoners in her tight-knit circle of friends. Her daughter provides context in a journalistic Afterword and will answer questions about the process of editing and publishing her mother’s work. \nThis program is held in association with The FHM’s newest exhibition Stitching History from the Holocaust. \nwww.helenepstein.com \n

SUMMARY:Coffee with a Survivor: Marie Silverman
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this online event in partnership with Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center.\n\n  \nMarie Silverman was born in 1931 and lived with her sister Jeannette and their parents in Antwerp\, Belgium when World War II began. After Germany invaded Belgium\, the family escaped to France. For a while\, non-Jews hid them on a farm but when the roundups began\, the family was captured and separated: the sisters with their mother were placed in an internment camp at Rivesaltes\, France while their father was sent to a different camp.\n\n  \nAfter 9 months\, Marie and Jeannette’s mother managed to smuggle her daughters out of Rivesaltes. They were hiding with other refugees in Vence\, France. They were then briefly reunited with the parents who managed to escape but the father soon died as a result of the mistreatment he had endured in the camp. Two partisan couriers took the sisters across the Pyrénées Mountains on foot from Vence to Barcelona\, Spain.\n\nMarie and Jeannette lived with their aunt and uncle and then came to the United States. Once here\, they were placed in an orphanage and with foster families until their mother was able to reunite with them in 1949.\n

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn with Doris Warschawski Fogel from the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center Survivor Profiles
DESCRIPTION:Join The FHM and the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center for a lunch and learn live stream with Holocaust Survivor\, Doris Warschawski Fogel on December 9 at 12 PM EST/ 11 AM CST.\n\n\nDoris Warschawski Fogel was born in 1934 in Berlin. Her father died when she was young\, and a neighboring family took Doris and her mother Edith under their wing. With the help of the Basch family\, they sailed to Shanghai in January 1939. There\, Doris\, Edith\, and the three members of Basch family shared one room in a Heim in the ghetto.\n“We were luckier than most…. We cooked our meals on coal stoves\, all within the confines of the one-room where we lived.”\nThough Edith had a university degree\, she worked in a soup kitchen\, while Mrs. Basch sewed clothes. Doris attended the Kadoorie School\, where she studied English\, French\, and German\, and she learned Chinese and Japanese from children on the street.\n\n\n“The day we left for America\, I could have sworn to you that my bed was going to walk out on its own because it was so loaded with cockroaches…. There was no such thing as indoor plumbing…. Malaria\, typhus—I was very ill. I came down with what we later found out was rheumatoid arthritis at the age of 10.”\n\n\nDue to the conditions of the ghetto\, Doris weighed 68 pounds at the age of 13 when she left for San Francisco\, and she had to relearn how to walk. The Basch family helped Doris and Edith obtain sponsorship to come with them to Peoria\, Illinois. Doris started 8th grade\, took pride in adopting an American accent\, and became a citizen in 1952. Doris served as the Executive Director of the Jewish Federation of Ft. Wayne\, Indiana\, then moved to the Chicago area to be with her children and grandchildren.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn with the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center - Special Guest Speaker Ben Goldwater
DESCRIPTION:Ben Goldwater was born in December 1938\, in Brussels\, Belgium.  He was living in Mons\, Belgium (17km from French border) when the war broke out in 1939.  On May 10\, 1940 the Nazis occupied his town. Ben’s father joined the Belgian underground against the Nazi war effort.  Ben’s family lived under constant fear of denunciation as Jews and fled their home twice as they escaped the local Gestapo.  Ben’s parents soon decided that they needed to protect him and his sister\, and through his father’s underground contacts were able to secure a hiding place with a local family\, whom they paid. Ben\, age 3\, and his sister remained with the family for 14 months and were treated terribly – the family often stole their food rations and at one point decided to turn them into the Gestapo.  Realizing the poor conditions their children lived under\, Ben’s parents took him and his sister and left for Messire\, Belgium\, where they would live there under false identities until the end of the war. \nVirtual event live on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/thefhm

SUMMARY:"Ever Present: Candles and Chance in the Art of Samuel Bak" Opening Day
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition focuses on two recent series “Ner Ot” and the “Art of Chance” produced by Holocaust survivor and artist Samuel Bak. The title of the former\, “Ner Ot” is presented as two words. In Hebrew the word ner means candle and nerot means candles (plural). When divided into two words\, ot alone means symbol. In this series\, Bak uses the candle as a symbol to examine the memory of the Holocaust. Dice is used as an icon of chance in the other series featured in this exhibition. Bak repeats the form of dice throughout these works to question the idea of chance in relationship to the Holocaust and his survival as well as to the human condition.\n\nSamuel Bak was born in 1933 in Vilna\, Poland at a crucial moment in modern history. From 1940 to 1944\, Vilna was under Soviet and then German occupation. Bak’s artistic talent was first recognized during an exhibition of his work in the Ghetto of Vilna when he was nine years old. While he and his mother survived\, his father and four grandparents all perished at the hands of the Nazis. At the end of World War II\, Bak fled with his mother to the Landsberg Displaced Persons Camp\, where he enrolled in painting lessons at the Blocherer School in Munich. In 1948\, they immigrated to the newly established state of Israel.\n\nIn his artwork\, Samuel Bak has explored and reworked a set of metaphors\, visual grammar\, and vocabulary that ultimately raises questions. His art depicts a world destroyed\, and yet provisionally pieced back together\, and preserves the memory of the twentieth-century ruination of Jewish life and culture by way of an artistic passion and precision that stubbornly announces the creativity of the human spirit. Since 1959\, the artist has had numerous exhibitions in major museums\, galleries\, and universities throughout Europe\, Israel\, and the United States including retrospectives at Yad Vashem Museum in Jerusalem\, and the South African Jewish Museum in Cape Town. Bak has been the subject of numerous articles\, scholarly works\, and fifteen books; most notably a 400-page monograph entitled Between Worlds. In 2001 he published his touching memoir\, Painted in Words\, which has been translated into several languages.

SUMMARY:To Life 2022: To Eternity
DESCRIPTION:To Life 2022 will mark 30 years for The Florida Holocaust Museum and our mission has never been more important. Along with a sharp increase in antisemitic incidents\, Holocaust denial and distortion continue to rise at alarming rates. In May 2021 the Museum itself was targeted by acts of hatred\, as were many in our community and around the world. \nThis is why Holocaust Education is so important. This is why you are so important. \nYour support is essential as the demand for The Florida Holocaust Museum’s educational resources is higher than ever and the need to share our mission is critical. The annual To Life Benefit provides the necessary dollars to continue our mission to prevent future genocides through our multifaceted educational and outreach programs. \nAlthough we would love to gather and celebrate our 30th anniversary in person\, the uncertainty that still surrounds the transmission of COVID-19\, led to us making a difficult choice to hold the event virtually again this year. \nThis one-hour online program will offer the opportunity to strengthen our mission and remember the lessons of the Holocaust. Join us in honoring those who continue this legacy. \n \n \nThank you to our 30th Anniversary Presenting Sponsor: Xiaohong Sunny Zhong and Robert M. Cohen\, Platinum Sponsor: John Picciano\, Visionary Sponsor: Sandy Mermelstein and Kent “Scooter” Bontly\, and all our other event sponsors.

SUMMARY:The St. Petersburg Celebration of the Arts: A Reunion Story
DESCRIPTION:Presented bilingually in English and Spanish \nThe FHM is honored to share a story of love between two friends who were miraculously reunited after 80 years\, Betty Grebenschikoff and Ana María Wahrenberg. The last time Grebenschikoff saw Ana María Wahrenberg was in the spring of 1939\, when they were 9 years old. They shared a tearful hug in a Berlin schoolyard before their families were forced to flee the country and the Nazis on the cusp of World War II. In a reunion facilitated by the USC Shoah Foundation\, as well as The FHM and the Interactive Jewish Museum of Chile\, the two women and their families reconnected in November 2020 on a Zoom call. Talking in their native German\, they vowed to meet in person\, and one year later\, they finally did. \n\nIn 2020\, Betty was reunited with her childhood friend Ana Maria through their individual testimonies\, which had been filmed decades before. Betty recorded her Dimensions in Testimony(SM) interview in 2021\, which will begin beta testing later this year. \n\nThe virtual presentation will be hosted on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/TheFHM \n\nSeating is limited\, please RSVP today by clicking the button below. \n\n Click here to RSVP today!\n\n

SUMMARY:My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me: A Conversation with Jennifer Teege  In partnership with Boxser Diversity Initiative\, Sarasota
DESCRIPTION:The Florida Holocaust Museum in partnership with Boxser Diversity Initiative will host two interactive discussions featuring International Selling Author\, Jennifer Teege on both Tuesday\, March 22 Live at The Florida Holocaust Museum in St. Petersburg\, Florida\, and Wednesday\, March 23 Live at Temple Beth Sholom in Sarasota\, Florida\, at 6:30 PM.\n\nMy Grandfather Would Have Shot Me\, an international bestseller\, is a book born of a shocking discovery: At age 38\, married with two children\, Jennifer Teege picked up a book by chance at Hamburg’s main library and discovered that her grandfather was the brutal Nazi commandant of the Plaszow concentration camp\, portrayed so memorably by Ralph Fiennes in the film Schindler’s List.\n\nTeege\, who was born Jennifer Göth to a Nigerian father and an Austrian-German mother\, grew up in foster care. She was adopted at the age of seven. Her grandmother was Ruth Irene Kalder\, who had a two-year relationship with Amon Göth until the end of the Second World War\, and with whom she had a daughter\, Monika Hertwig\, who was born in November 1945 and whom he never met. Teege studied at the Sorbonne\, and learned Hebrew in Israel where she studied for five years. At the age of 38\, Teege unexpectedly found out about her family history\, by picking up a book in a Hamburg library which happened to be her mother Monika Hertwig’s biography\, and where she discovered that Amon Göth was her grandfather\, which caused her to plunge into a severe depression. She decided to combat her depression and come to terms with this revelation by writing her book “My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me.” Her book was a success and became a New York Times bestseller. Translations of the book\, which was originally published in Teege’s native language\, German\, have been made into Danish\, English\, French\, Hebrew\, Italian\, Dutch\, Polish\, Portuguese and Spanish.\n\nThese discussions are free and open to the public.\n\nFor more information on the Sarasota program\, please visit The Boxser Diversity Initiative’s Website www.boxserdiversityinitiative.org\, RSVP online at www.eventbrite.com/jenniferteege\,  or contact Meg Gilbert\, Head of Administrative and Outreach Support\, The Boxser Diversity Initiative at (646) 386-6579.\n\n\n\nAbout The Boxser Diversity Initiative:\nThe Boxser Diversity Initiative promotes diversity and inclusion to encourage a better understanding of the diverse groups — racial\, religious\, and gender — in Southwest Florida that embrace the mission of diversity\, inclusion\, and community. The initiative has brought global speakers\, commentators\, and scholars to the Sarasota / Manatee area.\n\n\n\n Click here to RSVP today!\n\n\n\nWith our thanks to our community partners at the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH)\, St. Petersburg Chapter.

SUMMARY:Yom HaShoah - Holocaust Remembrance Day
DESCRIPTION:The FHM will be commemorating Yom HaShoah by offering in-person readings\, free admission to the museum\, and an evening Holocaust Survivor Testimony and service. Individuals will read aloud\, in-person the names of Holocaust victims in 5-minute intervals. \nThrough our educational programs based on original artifacts\, archival documents\, and artwork\, The Florida Holocaust Museum works daily to translate the staggering statistics of genocide into individual stories. \n\n  \nThe Reading of Names Commemoration is another effort to remember the victims as individual people with life histories. \nReading the names of the Jewish men\, women\, and children killed during the Holocaust is a symbolic yet deeply personal way of remembering these individuals. Most victims of the Holocaust don’t have graves – reciting their names allows for them to be memorialized while reminding us of their human dignity. Hearing their names offers us a chance to reflect on their lives and the events of the Holocaust while renewing our commitment to ensuring that such atrocities do not occur again. \nThe reading of names will be streamed on our Facebook page the entire day on April 28th. From 9:00 am to 4:00 pm\, individuals from our surrounding communities will read the names of Holocaust victims. www.Facebook.com/TheFHM \n\nYom HaShoah Commemoration Schedule (Holocaust Remembrance Day)\n8:45 am: Introduction by Erin Blankenship\, The FHM Interim Executive Director\, and Rabbi Danielle Upbin\, Congregation Beth Shalom\n9:00 am – 5:00 pm: Free admission\n12:00 pm: Mourner’s Kaddish recitation by Rabbi Matthew Berger\, Temple Ahavat Shalom\, and Virtual Testimony from Michael Igel\, The FHM Board Chair and grandson of Holocaust Survivors\n2:00 pm: Virtual Mourner’s Kaddish recitation by Rabbi Joel Simon\, Congregation Schaarai Zedek\, and Virtual Testimony from Dana Justus\, granddaughter of Holocaust Survivors\n5:30 pm: In-person commemoration service lead by featuring a candle lighting by Holocaust Survivors and their children\, and testimony from Survivor Sylvia Richman Images: Stanley Igel and his mother (grandfather and great grandmother of Michael Igel)\, Sylvia Richman and her mother\, Lisl Schick (grandmother of Dana Justus)

SUMMARY:Virtual Lunch & Learn With Holocaust Survivor Allan Hall *POSTPONED UNTIL TUESDAY\, JUNE 28 @ 12 PM*
DESCRIPTION:Join The FHM and Holocaust Survivor Allan Hall on Tuesday\, June 28 at 12 PM live on our Facebook page.\n\nAllan Hall was born in Cracow\, Poland\, in 1935. He led a charmed life until September 1939 when the Nazis marched into Poland. Seeking safety\, the family walked over 200 miles to Lvov where Allan was the first child picked up in the children’s pogrom in the Lvov Ghetto.\n\nWith false identity papers\, the family fled to Warsaw where Allan and his mother were arrested and taken to the train station to be sent to Treblinka. When the trains briefly stopped running\, Allan was marched to an orphanage in the Warsaw Ghetto.\n\nAllan’s father\, passing as Aryan\, rented an office in a high-rise building which housed German Air Force headquarters. Allan and his mother spent two years hiding in the closet in that office. During the Warsaw Uprising the family crawled under sniper fire to a bomb shelter where Allan’s mother gave birth to a baby boy.\nWhen the war ended\, Allan’s father was arrested. Knowing the children would be used as hostages\, Allan’s mother instructed Allan to take the baby and make his way to Palestine. For months\, hunted by the Soviets\, eleven-year-old Allan carried his baby brother across Europe trying to get to Italy and a ship to Palestine.\n\nIn 1947 the family emigrated to the United States. Twelve-year-old Allan\, unable to read or write\, and not speaking a word of English\, began school. He went on to graduate from the University of Florida and the University of Florida School of Law. He and his wife\, Lori Gold\, have three daughters and four grandchildren.\n\n \n

SUMMARY:“The Dressmakers of Auschwitz”  Featuring Lucy Adlington
DESCRIPTION:“The Dressmakers of Auschwitz” Featuring Lucy Adlington Thursday\, August 11 at 5:30 pm Virtual program via our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/TheFHM \n“The Dressmakers of Auschwitz: The True Story of the Women Who Sewed to Survive” powerfully chronicles the stories of the women who used their sewing skills to survive the Holocaust\, stitching beautiful clothes in an extraordinary fashion workshop within the Auschwitz concentration camp. At the height of the Holocaust\, 25 young inmates of the infamous Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp – mainly Jewish women and girls – were selected to design\, cut\, and sew beautiful fashions for elite Nazi women in a dedicated salon. It was work that they hoped would spare them from the gas chambers. \nThis fashion workshop – called the Upper Tailoring Studio – was established by Hedwig Höss\, the camp commandant’s wife\, and patronized by the wives of SS guards and officers. Here\, the dressmakers produced high-quality garments for SS social functions in Auschwitz\, and for ladies from Nazi Berlin’s upper crust. Drawing on diverse sources – including interviews with the last surviving seamstress – “The Dressmakers of Auschwitz” follows the fates of these brave women. \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:“Three Minutes: A Lengthening” - Tampa Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Join us in supporting the Tampa and St. Petersburg Theatrical Premieres of ‘Three Minutes – A Lengthening’\, a new\, award-winning documentary\, opening in theaters across the USA.\n\nHome movies may be the most haunting cinema of all\, taking on the patina of loss and mortality with each passing year. The home movies Glenn Kurtz found in his parent’s home in Florida were rarer and more precious still. His award-winning book\, Three Minutes in Poland\, explores the amateur footage his grandfather shot on a European trip in 1938\, focusing on members of the Jewish community in Nasielsk\, Poland\, just one year before the Nazis invaded their murderous campaign. \nIn Three Minutes – A Lengthening\, Bianca Stigter transforms David Kurtz’s shimmering images from over 80 years ago into a remarkable meditation on what it means for a lost community to be captured on film. His rare\, color footage gives Stigter rich material to illustrate the detective work needed to recover the stories of a village destroyed by the Holocaust. As Stigter runs Kurtz’s original footage (sometimes in slow motion\, sometimes still\, sometimes in reverse to draw meaning from each frame)\, the distance originally created by looking at 83-year-old fashions and hairstyles collapses into the immediate present: those faces. To see children grinning or people craning their necks to get into the shot is to watch humanity as it always exists in the presence of a camera. \nAt the end of 1939\, the people visible in the film\, and all the Jews in Nasielsk\, were deported to ghettos\, then sent to the Treblinka extermination camp. Kurtz’s footage\, which had almost rotted just before it was discovered and restored\, is the only visual record remaining. Stigter’s film\, produced by Steve McQueen (Director\, ’12 Years a Slave) and narrated by Helena Bonham Carter\, serves as a thoughtful testament to their memory. \n\n\nTampa Theatre – ONE NIGHT ONLY!\nThursday\, August 25th.\n7PM – Doors open\n7:30 PM – Film Screening\nPurchase your tickets by visiting:\nhttps://tampatheatre.org/movie/three-minutes-a-lengthening/\n\n“A remarkable glimpse of Jewish life before the Holocaust… THREE MINUTES is FASCINATING… ELECTRIFYING… An invaluable document and a humbling memorial…” – IndieWire\nThe film is Directed by Bianca Stigter.
