The Art, Music, and Poetry of the Holocaust with Dr. Robert Watson
Join us for a captivating in-person presentation with Dr. Robert Watson, historian, author, professor, political commentator and community leader. This program tells the compelling stories of noted Jewish artists, composers, poets, and intellectuals who, against all odds, found a way to ply their craft inside the camps. We will celebrate these artists who produced impressive and poignant works of art in an attempt to preserve a degree of humanity in the face of almost certain death. Their works outlived Hitler’s attempt to eradicate not just a group of people but a culture as well.
Registration is required.
