Program:
5:00 Reception
5:30 Greetings: Shulamit Reinharz, Director, Hadassah-Brandeis Institute
Introduction: Gretchen Schneider, Associate Editor, Architecture Boston
The HBI Project on Families, Children, and the Holocaust invites you to an evening of discussion with world renowned architect Daniel Libeskind. A second generation Holocaust survivor, Libeskind will explain how his early life experiences have influenced his commitments, vision and work. With over forty projects worldwide, Daniel Libeskind has designed such acclaimed enterprises as the Jewish Museum Berlin and the master plan for the World Trade Center in New York. About the design of the Jewish Museum in Berlin, 12 years in the making, Libeskind says: ?This was a building that, using the language of architecture, could take us all, Jews and non-Jews alike, to the crossroads of history, and show us that when the Jews were exiled from Berlin, at that moment, Berlin was exiled from its past, its present, and- until this tragic relationship is resolved ?its future.? A reading from his memoir, Breaking Ground, will follow. Shulamit Reinharz will then lead a conversation focusing on Libeskind?s life and architectural projects that commemorate the Holocaust. This program is co-sponsored by the Boston Society of Architects, Center for German and European Studies at Brandeis University, and the Mandel Center for the Humanities at Brandeis University.
