Join us this Sunday at 1:30 pm for a special performance by
the Argus Quartet. In last summer's Righteous Conversations Music Composition Workshop, five Milken Community High School students worked with RC Music Director Dr. David Brown to compose original music pieces based on the reflections, conversations, and connections students made with Holocaust Survivor Mentors in the workshop. The Argus Quartet will be performing a selection of these student compositions, as well as two pieces from their own repertoire. This is the first public performance of the Righteous Conversations Music Compositions from Summer 2015.

Culver City Police Department participates in LEAS at LAMOTH
|
This week LAMOTH welcomed members of the Culver City Police Department as part of the LEAS program. Started by the Anti-Defamation League and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC, in 2015 LAMOTH partnered with the ADL to develop LEAS for Los Angeles. LEAS provides law enforcement officials with a comprehensive examination of the role of police during the Holocaust as well as an opportunity for dialogue about contemporary issues relevant to today's law enforcement professionals. The Culver City Police Department began their day with a tour of LAMOTH galleries conducted by a LAMOTH docent. This was followed by workshops facilitated by LAMOTH and ADL staff.
