SUMMARY:The Ghetto Fighters' House  Talking Memory Series presents: Treasure Hunt:  Finding the Lost Art Legacy of David Friedmann
DESCRIPTION:The Ghetto Fighters’ House Talking Memory Series presents: \nCrafting Heritage: The Art of Holocaust Remembrance –  \nA Homage to David Friedmann \nJoin us on Sunday\, July 10th\, for the fourth and final program: \nTreasure Hunt:  Finding the Lost Art Legacy of David Friedmann \nGuest Speakers: \nMiriam Friedmann Morris in conversation with Liz Elsby \nDavid Friedmann’s (1893-1980) life’s work was Nazi-looted: oil paintings\, watercolors\, drawings\, etchings and lithographs. From childhood\, Morris was drawn into her father’s epic life story\, learning about his passion for art\, his Holocaust experiences\, and strong will to survive. Friedmann’s pursuit of justice inspired her quest to search for his lost art. With each new find\, she gained insights into his life\, an extraordinary view of his productive career amidst the rich\, cultural life before Hitler. Each and every artwork tells a story\, documents an event or captures the essence of a moment lost in time. Friedmann continues to live after his death via the passionate insistence of his art to emerge and be rescued from obscurity. \nThis program is in partnership with Classrooms Without Borders\, Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Center\, and the Jewish Historical Institute.

SUMMARY:The Ghetto Fighters' House  Talking Memory Series presents: Artist as Witness:  The Holocaust Art of David Friedmann in the Lodz Ghetto
DESCRIPTION:The Ghetto Fighters’ House Talking Memory Series presents: \nArtist as Witness:  The Holocaust Art of David Friedmann in the Lodz Ghetto \nGuest Speaker: \nMiriam Friedmann Morris \nDavid Friedmann (1893-1980) depicted human fate as a refugee in Prague\, as a prisoner in the Lodz Ghetto\, in the Auschwitz subcamp Gleiwitz I\, and as a survivor. During his three years in the Ghetto\, he absorbed the unending misery he witnessed. With death before his eyes\, through hunger and sickness\, he worked strenuously on a series of artwork documenting the infernal daily struggle of the prisoners’ desperate situation. He wrote and illustrated a diary to publish at war’s end. He felt that\, unless one had lived it\, no one would believe the brutal inhumanity against the Jews. His art and diary would be his testimony\, but they were destroyed. Torn out from his memory he produced a new art series to show to the world in the hope that such barbarism would never happen again. \n2 PM EST | 7 PM GMT | 8 PM SAST | 9 PM Israel \nThis program is in partnership with Classrooms Without Borders\, Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Center\, and the Jewish Historical Institute.

SUMMARY:The Ghetto Fighters' House Talking Memory Series presents: Artistic Representations of the Plight of the Elderly in Terezin\, 1942-1944
DESCRIPTION:The Ghetto Fighters’ House  Talking Memory Series presents:\nCrafting Heritage: The Art of Holocaust Remembrance – A Homage to David Friedmann\nJoin us on Sunday\, June 12th \, for the second program\nArtistic Representations of the Plight of the Elderly in Terezin\, 1942-1944\nGuest Speaker: Liz Elsby\nThe Nazi ghetto of Theresienstadt (Terezin in Czech) near Prague\, is often remembered for the incredible cultural endeavors of its Jewish inmates: in appalling conditions and in the shadow of deportations to death\, the Jews there created art\, held concerts and plays\, and performed operas such as ‘ Brundibar” . \nIn reality\, almost 34\,000 people\, the majority them elderly German and Austrian Jews\, died of disease\, starvation\, and neglect withing the ghettos walls; thousands more were among the 88\,000 deported to the death camps from the ghetto. \nToday\, most of these elderly men and women remain unremembered ghosts\, whose lives\, and suffering would have been forgotten by history had not an incredible group of Theresienstadt artists felt compelled to secretly draw their plight. \nIn this talk\, we will examine the artwork these brave artists created in that hellish place and by doing so\, we will give a face to these faceless victims\, and remember their humanity. \nThis program is in partnership with Classrooms Without Borders\, Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Center\, Beit Terezin\, and the Jewish Historical Institute.
