February Events
Literature at the “House of Love”
February 9, 2010 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM
Location Avrohm I. Wisenberg Multipurpose Learning Center
 
Houston-area Holocaust survivor Bill Morgan calls Holocaust Museum Houston the “House of Love” because he says it was built to teach about loving each other instead of hating each other. Educators are invited to join the Museum for this special professional development workshop focusing on school-age appropriate literature for grades three through 12. The workshop will include instruction on how to incorporate the use of literature in all classrooms for all development levels. All participants will leave with classroom-use materials and new ideas on teaching about the Holocaust and other genocides. This one-day event has a non-refundable workshop fee of $15 per teacher. Lunch is not provided, and online registrations are nonrefundable for any reason. Visit www.hmh.org/RegisterEvent.aspx to RSVP online by Feb. 1, 2010. For more information call 713-942-8000, ext. 105 or e-mail

"Killing Kasztner: The Jew Who Dealt with Nazis"
February 11, 2010 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM
Location Albert and Ethel Herzstein Theater
 
Join us for a special preview screening of  "Killing Kasztner: The Jew Who Dealt with Nazis," followed by a question and answer session with director Gaylen Ross. Hero or collaborator? Rezso Kasztner, known as the Jewish Schindler, negotiated face to face with Adolf Eichmann, rescuing 1,700 Jews on a train to Switzerland. Yet Kasztner was condemned as a traitor in his adopted country of Israel; accused of being a collaborator in a trial and verdict that divided a nation and forever stamped him as the "man who sold his soul to the devil." He was ultimately assassinated by Jewish right-wing extremists in Tel Aviv in 1957. Director Gaylen Ross investigates this tale of murder, intrigue and heroism through accounts of the inflammatory political trial, startling revelations after 50 years by Kasztner's assassin, Ze'ev Eckstein, and a chilling meeting between the killer and Kasztner's daughter, Zsuzsi.  "Killing Kasztner" received the Audience Award for Best Feature Documentary at the 2009 Boston Jewish Film Festival and opened to critical acclaim at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival and the Haifa International Film Festival. Seating is limited to the first 100 registrants, and advance registration is required. Visit www.hmh.org/RegisterEvent.aspx to RSVP online. "Killing Kasztner" formally opens to the general public Feb. 12 at the Angelika Film Center, 510 Texas St. Ross will also conduct question and answer sessions after some weekend screenings there.
