Join us in Room 8 of the museum for a screening of the film As Seen Through These Eyes (2008).

Maya Angelou narrates this powerful documentary, revealing the story of a brave group of people who fought Hitler with the only weapons they had: charcoal, pencil stubs, shreds of paper and memories etched in their minds. These artists took their fate into their own hands to make a compelling statement about the human spirit, enduring against unimaginable odds.

June reading selection: What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank by Nathan Englander

Short story writer Nathan Englander's latest collection of 8 stories casts a wide net across Jewish experience, including the role of Anne Frank's memory. Called beautiful, courageous, funny and outlandish, Englander displays his gifts as a literary craftsman while challenging the reader to consider — and re-consider -- his or her own perspectives.

Contribute to a stimulating conversation in the Museum's library about these modern works, and then join the Museum's special program to commemorate Anne Frank's Birthday.

 Discussion to be led in the Museum Library by Executive Director (and former English teacher!) Mark Rothman.
