About the Performance
Legacies are important pathways to the future. American composer David Diamond honors Ravel with his noble outpouring of grief, Elegy in Memory of Maurice Ravel. We hear from Diamond’s inspiration, Ravel, in his harp concerto. Britten’s The Sword in the Stone Concert Suite, a charming work written for a BBC radio dramatization, is paired with Arvo Pärt’s melodic tribute to Britten, Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten.

The Extraordinary Voyages of the Yiddish Jules Verne @ Jewish Museum of Maryland Zoom
Jan 7 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm

This presentation will explore how Verne’s Yiddish translators reshaped the writer, at once domesticating him to fit the norms of Jewish readership, while at the same time using Verne to advance a message of modernization, science, and empire to their supposedly backward and superstitious readers. This program is co-sponsored with the Yiddish Book Center.

“Among the Righteous” film and Q&A with Robert Satloff, Director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy @ Online
Jan 9 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
"Among the Righteous” film and Q&A with Robert Satloff, Director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy @ Online | Columbia | Maryland | United States

The book and documentary “Among the Righteous,” Robert Satloff uncovers the role that North African Arabs played in helping Jews during the Holocaust. The story of the Holocaust’s long reach into the Arab world is difficult to uncover, covered up by desert sands and desert politics. We follow Dr. Satloff over four years, through eleven countries, from the barren wasteland of the Sahara, where thousands of Jews were imprisoned in labor camps; through the archways of the Mosque in Paris, which may once have hidden 1700 Jews; to the living rooms of octogenarians in London, Paris and Tunis. The story is very cinematic; the characters are rich and handsome, brave and cowardly; there are heroes and villains. The most surprising story of all is why, more than sixty years after the end of the war, so few people — Arab and Jew — want this story told.

Dr. Satloff continues to play a role in bringing Jews and Arabs together as the director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Among his accomplishments, he has been responsible for helping to liberalize the Muslim World League, Saudi Arabia’s vehicle for promoting Islam around the world, and worked with its leader to issue remarkable statements on the Holocaust.
