Coming up at MJH! On Tuesday, April 8th, Janet Horvath will discuss her book, “The Cello Still Sings,” as a part of our Stories Survive series. Her book follows the story of her father, a cellist. After surviving Nazi slave labor camps, he played 200 morale-building concerts in the displaced persons camps of Bavaria from 1946-48, two of which were performed with Leonard Bernstein. Then on April 9th, discover the vibrant culture of Jewish Budapest on a live, virtual walking tour. Your guide will take you through the heart of the historic Jewish quarter of Pest—one of Budapest’s most intriguing areas. Highlights will include: the history of the Dohány Street Synagogue, and inspiring stories of the city’s Righteous Among the Nations. Later on April 9th, join us for a book talk on Ken Krimstein's new book, “Einstein in Kafkaland.” During the year that Prague was home to both Albert Einstein and Franz Kafka from 1911-1912, the trajectory of the two men’s lives wove together in uncanny ways-as did their shared desire to tackle the world’s biggest questions in Europe’s strangest city. In stunning words and pictures,Krimstein reveals the untold story of how their worlds wove together in a cosmic battle for new kinds of truth. Ross Benjamin will also join for the conversation.

Every year, the Museum brings together thousands of New Yorkers at our Annual Gathering of Remembrance to renew our collective vow to Never Forget. Join us at this year’s gathering in observance of Yom HaShoah, taking place at Congregation Emanu-El of the City of New York (Temple Emanu-El). The program will feature remarks from community leaders, Holocaust Survivors and descendants, music from the HaZamir Choir and Cantor Joseph Malovany, and a candle-lighting ceremony. New York City is proudly home to one of the world’s largest communities of Holocaust Survivors, and, year after year, our Annual Gathering of Remembrance honors the lives of the 6-million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and pays tribute to the Survivors who are still vibrant members of our lives and communities.
