SUMMARY:On-Site Commemoration: Light Among Darkness: 80th Anniversary of the Rescue of Bulgarian Jews
DESCRIPTION:During World War II\, none of Bulgaria’s approximately 50\,000 Jews were deported to Nazi death camps. This incredible feat was possible thanks to Bulgarian politicians\, administrators\, officers\, clergymen\, intellectuals\, and ordinary citizens who refused to yield to Nazi pressure. The Bulgarian state also facilitated transportation for Jewish refugees from Central and Eastern Europe\, and Bulgaria’s embassies and consulates issued around 15\,000 transit visas to Jews fleeing other countries. \nLearn more about the extraordinary acts by Bulgarians to save their Jewish community during World War II with Professor Michael Bar-Zohar\, winner of the Skolov Award for his achievements as a journalist and author of several books\, including biographies recounting the rescue of Bulgarian Jews from Nazis in World War II; and Svetoslav Stankov\, Consul General of the Republic of Bulgaria in Chicago. Their conversation will reflect upon the significance of the 80th anniversary of the rescue of Bulgarian Jews and how we must continue to resist antisemitism and hatred today. \nReservations required. Free to the public.

SUMMARY:The Negro Motorist Green Book
DESCRIPTION:“The Negro Motorist Green Book” guided Black Americans to thousands of businesses for over thirty years. When the first “Green Book” was published\, the American road was a metaphor for freedom: freedom to change your present situation\, determine your destiny\, and travel. Yet\, in 20th-century America\, this same road was a dangerous place for Black travelers. The land was divided by segregation — through policy and through custom. For Black people\, the prejudice was severe: a systematic effort to deny their basic human rights. In an era of Jim Crow laws and “sundown towns\,” communities that explicitly prohibited Black travelers from staying overnight\, the “Green Book” offered critical\, life-saving information and sanctuary. \nNow\, through The Negro Motorist Green Book\, visitors will explore film\, photographs\, interactives\, and oral histories from travelers and “Green Book” business owners; compare “Green Book” sites then and now; and appreciate historical objects from the Smithsonian and from a variety of “Green Book” sites. The exhibition includes artifacts from business signs and postcards to historic footage\, images\, and firsthand accounts that illustrate not just the apprehension felt by Black travelers\, but also the resilience\, innovation\, and elegance of people choosing to live a full American existence. \nDeveloped by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) in collaboration with award-winning author\, photographer\, and cultural documentarian\, Candacy Taylor\, Green Book offers an immersive look at the historic reality of travel for Black Americans and how the guide served as an indispensable resource for the rise of the Black leisure class in the United States. The exhibition highlights destinations created by Black Americans and strategies that affirmed their humanity\, their worth\, their light\, and their lives – and how it was done with ingenuity\, community\, and with help from Victor Green and his travel guide: “The Negro Motorist Green Book.”

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: “CHIM: BETWEEN DEVASTATION AND RESURRECTION”
DESCRIPTION:September 22\, 2022 | 6:30pm CDT\nOn-Site & Online \n  \nDavid Seymour – better known as “Chim” — is widely remembered as the first human rights photographer. One of the cofounders of photojournalism’s famous cooperative Magnum Photos\, Chim’s work was poignant and emphatic – transcending generations\, making him one of the 20th century’s quintessential photographers. \nJoin us for a special presentation by Carole Naggar and Ben Shneiderman to celebrate the opening of our latest exhibition\, Chim: Between Devastation and Resurrection\, which focuses on Seymour’s photographs of post-World War II reconstruction in Europe\, European elections\, the effect of the war on children\, and the birth of the new State of Israel. \nNaggar is an author and photography historian who has studied Chim’s life and work for decades. Her long-awaited biography\, David ‘Chim’ Seymour: Searching for the Light\, 1911-1956\, will be released this fall. Shneiderman\, a distinguished university professor\, and Chim’s nephew\, will open the program with a monologue about his uncle’s life and work. \nOn-site guests are invited to come to the Museum prior to our start time to explore the new exhibition. \n
