For more books, please check our Library Catalog. VIDEOS Big Sonia (2016) - Available on Kanopy or on the Library’s Canvas Organization. For years, Sonia Warshawski (92) has been an inspirational public speaker at schools and prisons, where her stories of surviving the Holocaust as a teenager have inspired countless people who once felt their own traumas would leave them broken forever. But when Sonia is served an eviction notice for her iconic tailor shop, she's confronted with an agonizing decision: either open up a new shop or retire. Ironically, Sonia's shop is the last open business in an otherwise desolate Kansas City mall, but it contains enough color and liveliness to make up for the entire empty complex. For a woman who admits she stays busy "to keep the dark parts away," facing retirement dredges up fears she'd long forgot she had, and her horrific past resurfaces. BIG SONIA explores what it means to be a survivor and how intergenerational trauma affects families and generations. *Winner of Best Documentary at the Cleveland International Film Festival and at the Napa Valley Film Festival.* -Above description taken from Kanopy’s film summary.

Ahearn, Moritz 0. Bergmeyer and Tyrone Hanlan (Ahearn, Bergmeyer & Hanlan). Architect Moritz Bergmeyer Associates, Inc., Boston Location and Description of Site A certai'n parcel of land containing 115,718 square feet situated in the Jamaica Plain district of Boston on Pond Street (also known as the Jamaicaway) between Eliot and Burroughs Streets, formerly occupied by the Children's Museum, more fully described in Exhibit A. The site is presently occupied by four main structures: the former Mitton House which was the main museum building, the Curtis House also known as the Haunted House, the Carriage House which had been remodelled as an auditorium, and a caretaker's house on Eliot Street known as the Williams House, along with a parking area to the rear of the Curtis House and two small garages. Proposed Location and Appearance of Structures The existing structures on site shall be renovated into twenty-four condominium dwelling units and two garages. A one-story annex to the Mitton House may be increased to two and one-half stories. The Carriage House may have several skylights and dormers set into the roof, and windows and doors may be cut into the existing masonry walls. The exterior building materials shall remain the same on the existing struc­ tures and therefore the addition to the Mitton House will probably be stucco, subject to design review.
