Not far away. brings together more than 700 original objects and 400 photographs from institutions and museums around the world to share the stories of Auschwitz — and life before, during, and after the Holocaust. The exhibition features personal items that belonged to survivors and victims of Auschwitz, such as suitcases, eyeglasses, and shoes, as well as rare artifacts that relay the experience of survivors and liberators — from artist Alfred Kantor’s sketchbook depicting daily life in Auschwitz to the trumpet that musician Louis Bannet (known as “the Dutch Louis Armstrong”) credits for saving his life while he was in Auschwitz. Other artifacts include concrete posts from the fence of the Auschwitz camp; part of an original prisoners barrack; a gas mask used by the SS; and an original German freight train car used for the deportation of Jews to the ghettos and extermination camps in occupied Poland. According to Robert Jan van Pelt, Chief Curator of the exhibit, stories are the heart of the exhibition. “All through the exhibition there are stories about individuals and families, communities and organizations, ideologies that teach people to hate, and responses that reveal compassion and love. There are stories of victims, PREMIERES SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 24 AT 7:30PM perpetrators, and bystanders, stories with heroes and villains — stories that Learn more at nyc-arts.org merge into an epic story of a continent marked by war and genocide,” he said. SESAME STREET’S 50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION To mark Sesame Street’s 50th anniversary, the whole neighborhood comes together to take a photo under the Sesame Street sign — but the sign is missing. While Elmo and friends search for the sign, Joe takes a look back at 50 years of Sesame Street memories, and everyone soon realizes that Sesame Street isn’t just a sign or a street — it’s a place where everybody is welcome, learning is fun, and all kinds of monsters, birds, and humans come together to form lifelong friendships.
