SUMMARY:Defiant Requiem: Lecture and Performance
DESCRIPTION:On March 29-30\, the McGillicuddy Humanities Center and the School of Performing Arts welcome renowned conductor Murry Sidlin for a film screening and lecture as part of the 2022-23 MHC symposium on Recovery\, Rediscovery\, and Resilience. \nOn Wednesday\, March 29 at 7:30 pm in Minsky Recital Hall\, Murry Sidlin will host a screening of the film Defiant Requiem. On Thursday\, March 30 at 3:00 pm in Minsky\, he will deliver a lecture\, which will include a performance by Silver Duo (Phillip and Noreen Silver) \nDefiant Requiem\, a feature-length documentary film\, highlights the most dramatic example of intellectual and artistic courage in the Theresienstadt (Terezín) Concentration Camp during World War II: the remarkable story of Rafael Schächter\, a brilliant\, young Czech conductor who was arrested and sent to Terezín in 1941. He demonstrated moral leadership under the most brutal circumstances\, determined to sustain courage and hope for his fellow prisoners by enriching their souls through great music. His most extraordinary act was to recruit 150 prisoners and teach them Verdi’s Requiem by rote in a dank cellar using a single score\, over multiple rehearsals\, and after grueling days of forced labor. The Requiem was performed on 16 occasions for fellow prisoners. The last\, most infamous performance occurred on June 23\, 1944 before high-ranking SS officers from Berlin and the International Red Cross to support the charade that the prisoners were treated well and flourishing. \nMurry Sidlin\, a conductor with a unique gift for engaging audiences\, continues a diverse and distinctive musical career. He is the president and creative director of The Defiant Requiem Foundation\, an organization that sponsors live concert performances of Defiant Requiem: Verdi at Terezín and Hours of Freedom: The Story of the Terezín Composer; as well as other projects including the documentary film\, Defiant Requiem; a new docudrama called Mass Appeal\, 1943\, which was premiered in June 2017; and The Rafael Schächter Institute for Arts and Humanities at Terezín. In addition\, he lectures extensively on the arts and humanities as practiced by the prisoners in the Theresienstadt (Terezín) Concentration Camp. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Anne Knowles on "Landscapes of Remembrance"
DESCRIPTION:Join us on April 17th as we mark Yom HaShoah with a public lecture by Professor Anne Knowles on “Landscapes of Remembrance.”\n\nThere are now thousands of Holocaust memorials around the world\, from the vast grounds of former concentration camps to the palm-size “stumbling stones” that mark where individuals last lived before they were deported or killed. This presentation will reflect on the meanings memorials convey\, asking how the Holocaust is remembered – and forgotten – in the landscapes where it took place.\n\nAnne Kelly Knowles is McBride Distinguished Professor of History at the University of Maine\, where she leads the Digital & Spatial History Lab. Her books include studies of 19th-century Welsh immigration to the United States and America’s struggle to compete with British industry\, edited books on applying GIS to history\, and the first book of essays exploring the Holocaust from geographical perspectives. She is known internationally as a pioneer in historical GIS and a leader of the spatial turn in Holocaust Studies. Anne’s research has been supported by many grants and fellowships\, including interdisciplinary grants from the National Science Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities\, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. In 2012 her work was recognized by the first annual American Ingenuity Award for Historical Scholarship from Smithsonian magazine.\n\nThis event will also be live-streamed on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@umainejudaicstudies

SUMMARY:Silent Voices Remembered
DESCRIPTION:Silent Voices Remembered  \nA concert of Holocaust memorial trios presented by the Essex Piano Trio (Ashley Offret\, violin / David Cabral\, cello / Beverly Soll\, piano). \nEntitled Silent Voices Remembered\, the concert of Holocaust memorial trios will explore the music of five composers dating from the 1940s to the present.  Although the subject is dark\, the music is gorgeous\, and Essex Piano Trio believes audiences will be inspired by this remembrance\, which\, while portraying and mourning the atrocities of this genocide\, also – as only art can – celebrates the courage and resilience of those who survived and expresses hope for the future of the Jewish people and others targeted by hatred and violence. \nUMaine – Silent Voices Flyer 20240416
