The "Ghettozentralbucherei" (Ghetto Central Library) opened in November of 1942 and 5 remained in operation, offering prisoners vital means of escape and solace, until liberation in May of 1945. Its staff worked creatively and diligently to provide access to the available reading materials. They invented a bookmobile system, created branch libraries throughout the camp, oversaw the cataloging of Hebrew and Judaica volumes, worked to ensure the preservation and survival of rare and valuable works, and encouraged reading aloud so that each book could reach as many people as possible. Through its very normalcy as an institution of leisure and learning, the library existed as an instrument of resistance, representing an organized system of life, all the more inspirational and strengthening as it thrived within the much larger system of death. This lecture is available from December 1, 2006 to January 1, 2013* Fee – See New York Council for the Humanities website on how to apply for a lecturer http://www.nyhumanities.org/speakers/adult_audiences/ 3) City College of CUNY Lecturer: Emily Greble, Assistant Professor, Department of History Professor Greble teaches about inter-war and wartime Czechoslovakia. She has lived in Prague while studying arts and cultural history. She can discuss her trips to Terezin, highlighted by personal photos, including those of her mother’s house. According to Professor Greble, Terezin is one of the best preserved one can visit. She recently completed her first book on the multicultural city Sarajevo during the Second World War.

Prior to coming to City College, Professor Greble held fellowships at the Remarque Institute at New York University and the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, part of the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.

Contact her via email at [email protected] or call 914-260-0103. Fee is $250, negotiable. 4) Czech Arts, Crafts and Architecture Lecturer: Jessica Ley PRAGUE: Arts & Architecture Although the city of Prague dates back to the 11th century, this program will focus on the periods between 1895 and now. Beginning at the end of the Gilded Age, the borders of the ancient center city, Stare Mesto, began to expand. Architecture in the new areas reflected the art of the Czech artist Alphonse Mucha and were exuberantly Art Nouveau in style. As the city expanded further, Secessionist and Art 6 Deco styles were added. Glass, jewelry, furniture, ceramics began to be produced by small businesses who were learning new technologies to adorn the modern spaces and the people dwelling in them. In the early 20th century, WW I not only disrupted, but nearly collapsed these industries. After the war, the new state of Czechoslovakia was the largest glass bead exporter in the world. Another disruption came after World War II, and still another after the Communist regime fell in 1991. But business is booming and this PowerPoint-illustrated lecture includes some of what you can expect to see - and buy - when you visit this phenomenally beautiful city. Some samples of Czech jewelry will be on display as well. Ten Vale Drive, Huntington, NY 11743 63-424-7445 [email protected] $160 5) Lost Loves Lecturer: Donna Hanover, author of “My Boyfriend’s Back.” Donna Hanover is a broadcast journalist, currently at CUNY TV as a correspondent on the show, SCIENCE & U.

From the very beginning of the de Blasio administration, we have made it our mission to honor that persistence by taking significant actions to create a stronger foundation for gender equity in our city. More parents than ever before can stay home and care for a sick child — without losing the day’s pay or being fired. More women can take time to recover from childbirth and bond with their baby. Employers can no longer use past salary history as justification for unfair pay in the present.

  • When Mom Or Dad Hooks up with Someone
    News | Entertainment | Sports | Jobs | Cars | Real Estate | Apartments | ShopLocal | Place An Ad am New York When Mom or Dad hooks up with someone new Especially for teenagers and adult children, adjusting to a parent–s new partner can be traumatic BY PAT BURSON [email protected] March 19, 2007 Divorce can drive a wedge between a parent and child, even more so when Mom or Dad hooks up right away with someone new. While the transition is tough for any child, it can be more difficult for teenagers and young adults who may be more aware than younger children about what is happening and what it all means. Take the relationship between former New York City mayor and Republican presidential hopeful Rudolph Giuliani and his son, Andrew, 21. The younger Giuliani revealed in published reports that he had "a little problem" with his father's third wife, Judith Nathan, and that he'd only recently spoken to his dad after some time. Andrew's situation - which included his dad openly seeing Nathan while still married to his mother, Donna Hanover, and his parents' bitter divorce, played out in the public eye - may be more extreme than most. But parents on the verge of separation or divorce would do well to take heed, family and relationship experts say, lest they risk jeopardizing the bond they have with their own teenage or adult children. Working through the grief After a divorce, both parents must take care of themselves as well as their children, says Bob Lancer, an Atlanta-area marriage and parenting consultant and author of "Parenting With Love ..

Once an affair becomes public knowledge many politicians seeks to repair a tarnished image. Through the use and understanding of Goffman’s self‐ presentation strategies politicians have been able to once again find favor with the public. Bill Clinton and Mark Sanford were both accused to engaging in extra‐marital affairs during their political career; and later admitted guilt to transgressions. Through the analysis of print and television and by assessing audience reaction; self‐presentation strategies have been demonstrated by both politicians. Political Affairs 4 Table of Contents Page 1.

Luxe’s Winning Strategy: Neiman Marcus Profits Climb 19.3% in Quarter By Vicki M.
