TUTORING Drop in tutoring program available on Tues. & Thurs. from 5:00 - 6:00 p.m. *Based on DOE schedule ODDLY NORMAL: One Family’s Struggle to Help Their Teenage Son Come to Terms with his Sexuality Sunday, May 19, 10 a.m to 12 Bagels & coffee included $6 in advance, $9 at the door In 2009, John Schwartz got a call from his wife. His thirteen year old son, Joe, was on his way to the hospital after a failed suicide attempt. Joe had finally mustered the courage to come out as gay to his classmates, who responded with great discomfort. Hours later, he tried to kill himself. Oddly Normal is a personal story, written to help other parents of gay kids — and maybe, parents of any kid who is different, who is mistreated by others, or who just may not accept himself — to know that they can find their own way to help their child handle the pain that comes from not fitting in.

ORDINARY NAZIS AND THE HOLOCAUST Prof. Mary Fulbrook Thurs., Mar. 28, 1:30 p.m. Udo Klausa was an ordinary Nazi functionary who helped implement the Nazi’s policies of extermination for 85,000 Jews on their way to slave labor or the gas chambers. Despite inner conflicts, Klausa considered himself throughout “a decent man”. Klausa’s story is so typical of countless local functionaries across the Third Reich. Without the diligent cooperation of these ordinary men, the extermination of millions could never have been realized. Fulbrook had known the Klausa family all her life, but did not know Udo’s story until a few years ago. An award winning historian, Prof. Mary Fulbrook teaches German history at University College, London. Holocaust Memorial Day Program THE HANDS OF WAR: A TALE OF ENDURANCE AND HOPE Marione Ingram Mon., Apr. 8, 1:30 p.m. Marione Ingram grew up in Germany during World War II, the daughter of a Jewish mother. In the midst of deportations, she experienced the firestorm bombings of Hamburg, the deadliest aerial assault the world had ever seen. Presumed dead in the firestorms, she and her mother escaped the death camps and survived in hiding, living with constant fear and hunger. Immigrating to the U.S. after the war, Ingram became a civil rights activist, impelled by her own experiences. During the 1960s she worked on voter registration, opened a Freedom School in Mississippi, which was eventually torched by the Klu Klux Klan. Today she is a writer and artist. WOMEN IN AFGHANISTAN, WOMEN IN ISLAM Naheed Braham Mon., April 15, 1:30 p.m. Naheed Braham, of NY Women for Afghan Women, will discuss the situation of women today in Afghanistan and the role of women, historically, in Islam. Do the strictures of the Taliban derive from Islam directly or from the traditional culture of Afghanistan? She will also discuss the work of Women for Afghan Women in Afghanistan. Naheed’s family left Afghanistan after her mother was killed by a bomb in Kabul. THE MEANING OF LIFE Prof. Raymond Belliotti Mon., Apr. 22, 1:30 p.m. Part of the human condition is that the questions most important to us - Why am I born to suffer and die? How did it all begin and how will it end? - evade answers and, instead, make us feel our own limits. Yet, living a full life involves struggling with the meaning of life. Belliotti concludes that these questions are best understood through two metaphors: telescopes, and slinky toys. Distinguished Prof. of Philosophy at SUNY Fredonia, Belliotti is the recipient of the Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching, and is the author of 9 books, including The Philosophy of Baseball. This Speakers in the Humanities event, which is free and open to the public, is made possible through the support of the New York Council for the Humanities, a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. THE JEWS OF BUKHARA Alanna Cooper Mon., May 6, 1:30 p.m. One of the most ancient Mizrahi communities, the Jews of Bukhara were intimately tied to Central Asian culture. Author Alanna Cooper tells the story of this community in Bukhara and their struggle to adapt yet preserve their own culture abroad. Cooper’s new book makes clear the tensions inherent in keeping Jews as one people worldwide over the course of a long and varied diaspora. Alanna Cooper teaches at Boston University. Jewish Life and Culture in Postwar Germany Prof. Roland Dollinger Mon., May 13, 1:30 PM Nearly seventy years after the Holocaust, what is the nature of Jewish life in Germany today? Professor Dollinger will discuss the reemergence of Jewish communities in the “country of the perpetrators”, and anti-Semitism in postwar Germany, looking at how younger generations of Germans understand their own past. Dr. Roland Dollinger grew up in postwar Germany and is Associate Professor of German at Sarah Lawrence College. This Speakers in the Humanities event, which is free and open to the public, is made possible through the support of the New York Council for the Humanities, a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Koch: The Man, The Mayor, The Movie! Film Screening & discussion with Filmmaker Neil Barsky Mon., Apr. 29, 12:30 p.m. Former Mayor Ed Koch was the quintessential New Yorker. Still brash, charismatic, and hilariously blunt when he died at 88, Koch ruled New York from 1978 to 1989, a down-and-dirty decade of grit, graffiti, near-bankruptcy and rampant crime. Often controversial, Koch served three terms as mayor, including an infamous 1980 transit strike; the burgeoning AIDS epidemic; and landmark housing renewal initiatives. Through candid interviews and rare footage, Koch chronicles the personal toll of running the world’s greatest city in a time of upheaval. “Here was a guy who really represented the rough and tumble of New York. And he was just haunted and damned by one helluva personality.” Rev. Calvin Butts Peggy Kurtz, (718) 268-5011, ext. 151, [email protected] 25 LIBRARY LIBRARY EVENTS (CONT.) 13TH Annual Sholem Aleichem Day! RECOVERING THE LOST WORLD OF EAST EUROPEAN JEWS Jonathan Brent Mon., May 20, 1:30 p.m. YIVO was founded in Poland in 1925 by a visionary group of Jewish intellectuals, including Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud, who understood the unique and largely unrecognized impact of Yiddish culture on European civilization and were deeply concerned that the culture of East European Jewry was undergoing radical change in a rapidly modernizing world. Communal activists and intellectuals worked tirelessly to collect the records of Jewish communities years before the Holocaust. Now in NY, YIVO has been able to recover much of the vast archive stolen by the Nazis. We’ll discuss this remarkable history, as well as the continuing influence of Yiddish culture on other cultures to the present day. Jonathan Brent is Executive Director of YIVO. THE TERRITORY Film Screening & Discussion with Filmmaker Dmitriy Khavin Mon., Jun. 17, 1:00 p.m. The Territory is an intimate look into the lives of Soviet immigrants to Israel, who have made their new home in the West Bank settlements, today comprising about one fifth of the settlers in “the territories”. While some residents move to the settlements looking for cheaper housing, others are motivated by Zionist ideology; and all are influenced by their past experience of being an oppressed minority in the Soviet Union. Dmitriy Khavin began his film career at the Odessa Film Studios in Ukraine and has lived in the U.S. since 1992, where he works as a filmmaker. 26 CLASSES: FOR THE INTELLECTUALLY CURIOUS! Two Great Directors: Unique Visions We’ll view films by two great 20TH century directors, Ingmar Bergman & Federico Fellini, focusing on one early film and one late film for each. We’ll watch closely for the ways these great directors use the language of film to express their distinctive visions. Aiste Jankauskaite has worked as an assistant film producer and editor. Bring your kosher brown bag lunch. Coffee & dessert served. Library Book Group Join us for thoughtful, lively, provocative discussions on the best new and classic literature and non-fiction. This spring we’ll read selections from the Great Books Foundation, Civically Engaged Reader, all on the theme of giving back to society. The series includes literature, philosophy and religion, ranging from Aristotle to Kafka, the Mishneh Torah to Pablo Neruda. 3rd Thurs. of every month, 11:30 a.m. FREE, but registration requested. 4 (alternate) Tues., beg.

Walking Tour of Chelsea Art Galleries plus Café Thurs., May 30 11:00 - 1:30 p.m. We’ll explore modern sculpture in more depth, beginning with early 20TH century movements such as primitivism, Cubism, and Futurism, in the context of the events of their time. Moving through the 20TH century, we’ll look at assemblage, found art, and how they differ from carved and forged sculpture. How has three dimensional public art shaped our city and how has sculpture been used to effect social change and shape public opinion? Kelly Rae Aldridge teaches Art History at Stony Brook. 5 (alternate) Tues., beg. Apr. 16 12:00 p.m $38 m / $44 nm Pirke Avot: Ethical Advice from Ancient Sages Pirke Avot has been among the most beloved of Jewish texts, wise counsel for every day life. With its short sometimes enigmatic sayings, what wisdom do these ancient ethical writings have for us today, in the 21ST century? We’ll study the The Ethics of the Fathers, with interpretations from Maimonides to modern commentators. Rabbi Goldenberg taught at Gettysburg & York Colleges. 8 Wed., beg. Apr. 10 1:30 p.m.- 2:30 p.m. $48 m / $64 nm New York is the center of the art world, and the art galleries in Chelsea set the tone for what is in and out of style. Art History instructor Harry Weill will lead a walking tour which will showcase a diverse range of media from painting and sculpture to installation and video art. We’ll look at what makes an artist ‘hot’ in the art world, looking at both established and emerging artists. Afterward, we’ll relax together with a light, optional lunch at an affordable restaurant. Harry Weil teaches Art History at Paterson University. Transportation available. Registration a must. Price & restaurant TBA.
