Join us on November 10 at 6:30 pm as Dr. Anna Hájková gives a talk on the Theresienstadt Concentration Camp.
Dr. Hájková received her PhD from the University of Toronto and is an assistant professor at the University of Warwick. Her work examines the social history and everyday life of prisoners in Theresienstadt. Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust is especially proud to welcome her in conjunction with the opening of its exhibition of work created by Erich Lichtblau-Leskly, a prisoner of Theresienstadt. The original work is composed of the preserved fragments of Leskly's artwork from Theresienstadt, juxtaposed with their later Israeli period replicas. His satirical sketches draw on humor, demonstrating both his intellectual and spiritual resistance.

Sunday Survivor Speaker Series: Eva Nathanson
Sunday, October 16 at 2:00 pm
Eva Nathanson was born in 1941 in Budapest, Hungary. When she was a young child, the Hungarian
Nyilas
, members of the pro-Nazi Arrow Cross Party, arrested most of her family. A family friend rescued Eva from this deportation, and provided her and her mother with shelter. For the rest of the war, Eva hid in various homes. She remembers her fear of soldiers, weapons and small spaces, all of which still resonate with her. They were officially liberated in May 1945. She left Hungary in 1956, just months after the revolution, and arrived in the United States in January 1957. She settled in Los Angeles, where she raised two children. Eva is actively involved with LAMOTH educational programs.

With gratitude to the Joseph Drown Foundation for their generous support of free Holocaust education and school tours.
