2019–2020 Annual Report ANNUAL REPORT 2019–20 Dear Friends, This annual report was finalized in a world that was unthinkable when the year began. Even though such a report typically looks back, this unprecedented moment calls for looking forward. The Museum is now an all-digital, all-the-time enterprise, for how long we do not know. But that alone is not enough. This is a time for learning and growing. Our digital education resources and virtual trainings and programs must serve our many diverse partners and audiences—teachers, faculty, students, leaders, and the general public. But, we have learned that in digital education, quantity is not quality, and that virtual education is much more complex than we imagined. Demand for our online resources and teaching support has soared, and we are experimenting and reimagining our work for this new world. Our role has always been to help build and lead the fields of Holocaust scholarship and education as well as genocide prevention. Now these fields face challenges and opportunities as never before. Thanks to your ongoing generosity, the Museum is well positioned to learn from this crisis and grow into an even stronger, more impactful institution, whose educational message is more urgent than ever. Thank you, Howard M. Lorber, Chairman Allan M. Holt, Vice Chairman Sara J. Bloomfield, Director FOUNDERS SOCIETY Gifts as of August 7, 2020 The Museum is deeply grateful to our leading donors, whose cumulative gifts of $1 million or more make our far-reaching impact possible.

  • David Hume Kennerly Archive Creation Project
    DAVID HUME KENNERLY ARCHIVE CREATION PROJECT 50 YEARS BEHIND THE SCENES OF HISTORY The David Hume Kennerly Archive is an extraordinary collection of images, objects and recollections created and collected by a great American photographer, journalist, artist and historian documenting 50 years of United States and world history. The goal of the DAVID HUME KENNERLY ARCHIVE CREATION PROJECT is to protect, organize and share its rare and historic objects – and to transform its half-century of images into a cutting-edge digital educational tool that is fully searchable and available to the public for research and artistic appreciation. 2 DAVID HUME KENNERLY Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist David Hume Kennerly has spent his career documenting the people and events that have defined the world. The last photographer hired by Life Magazine, he has also worked for Time, People, Newsweek, Paris Match, Der Spiegel, Politico, ABC, NBC, CNN and served as Chief White House Photographer for President Gerald R. Ford. Kennerly’s images convey a deep understanding of the forces shaping history and are a peerless repository of exclusive primary source records that will help educate future generations. His collection comprises a sweeping record of a half-century of history and culture – as if Margaret Bourke-White had continued her work through the present day. 3 HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE The David Hume Kennerly collection of photography, historic artifacts, letters and objects might be one of the largest and most historically significant private collections ever produced and collected by a single individual. Its 50-year span of images and objects tells the complete story of the baby boom generation.

  • Gaines Hall - Sänger - Proscenium Artist's Management
    Gaines Hall - Sänger - Proscenium Artist's Management https://proscenium.at/kuenstler/gaines_hall.php GAINES HALL - Sänger und Coreograph Gaines Hall wurde in Alabama geboren. Schon früh zeigte sich sein tänzerisches Talent in der Tanzschule seiner Mutter. Im Kirchenchor hat er seine Gesangsstimme gefunden und sie reichlich benutzt. Nach seinem High School Abschluss zog er, gerade 17jährig, nach Washington D.C. und hat vier Jahre lang an der American University sein Gesangs-, Tanz- und Schauspielstudium absolviert. Gleichzeitig arbeitete er als Tanzlehrer, Choreograf und Darsteller. Verschiedene Tournee Produktionen führten ihn anschließend durch die USA und Kanada. Nach einem kürzeren Aufenthalt in New York kam er 1992 mit einer Tournee Produktion der originalen Broadway Inszenierung von „42nd Street“ nach Deutschland. Stationen waren München, Frankfurt, Essen, Brüssel, Amsterdam und Berlin. In Berlin bot sich die Chance zu einem Vorsingen am Theater des Westens; die Folge war, dass er für die „UFA Revue“ engagiert wurde. 1993 dachte er noch nach dem dreimonatigen Engagement in Berlin würde er in die Staaten zurückkehren. Aber sein Schicksal und seine Liebe zu Europa hielten ihn hier. Im Theater des Westens - noch in der sogenannten goldenen Zeit von Helmut Baumann - hatte er die Ehre, in vielen weiteren Shows mitzuwirken, zum Beispiel: „My Fair Lady“, „Anything Goes“ mit Helen Schneider und „Blue Jeans“ mit Angelika Milster. Seine ersten Schritte hinaus aus dem Ensemble (allein auf der Bühne, deutsch sprechend) wurden ihm von Herrn Baumann geebnet, und zwar in dessen berühmter Inszenierung des Musicals „La Cage aux Folles- ein Käfig voller Narren“ als Chantal, der Sopranistin, bei der er seine Fähigkeit sehr hoch zu singen unter Beweis stellen durfte.

  • KZ – Kampf – Kunst BORIS LURIE: NO!ART
    KZ – Kampf – Kunst (CONCENTRATION CAMP – STRUGGLE – ART) BORIS LURIE: NO!ART The works of Boris Lurie have the power to shock. Many were created more than fifty years ago, but have lost none of their potential to rattle cages, to polarise opinion and to test the boundaries of tolerability. Boris Lurie’s comprehensive and controversial body of work will be presented in the NS Documentation Centre in Cologne as of 27 August 2014. The exhibition – developed in cooperation with the Boris Lurie Foundation in New York and under the curatorial direction of gallery owner Gertrude Stein – features the first impressive works created directly after Lurie’s release from Buchenwald concentration camp, as well as works from the 1940s and 1950s that have never been seen in Europe before. A selection of his impressive sculptural works from the 1970s will also be presented for the first time in the basement. The profoundly human existentialism and peculiarly European characteristics that inform his works – and, not least, his aggressively political outlook – made Lurie something of an outsider in a New York art world in thrall to abstract expressionism and pop art, a state of affairs that endured until his death in 2008. Born in Riga in 1924 to a wealthy Jewish middle-class family, the artist experienced the catastrophes and upheavals of the 20th century at first hand. Together with his father, he survived the Stutthof and Buchenwald concentration camps. His mother, grandmother, younger sister and childhood sweetheart were all murdered in the Massacre of Rumbula, near Riga, in 1941. Lurie described himself as a privileged concentration camp survivor who quickly gained a foothold as a translator in post-war Germany, emigrating to New York with his father in 1946, where he lived and worked for the rest of his days.
