- 5:30pm viewing in the in the gallery with refreshments
- 5:45pm The program will open with a performance of Gideon Klein's String Trio. Klein is one of the many Jewish musicians, artists, and citizens forced by the Nazi's into the Terezin concentration camp. Klein - like so many others, known and unknown - created works in the face of the inhumane injustice that marked the rule of the Third Reich. Fortunately, works of art have survived and live on as a rebuke to the world that allowed so many lives to be lost in the Holocaust.
The Klein String Trio will be performed by an ensemble made up of violinist Pete Ciaschini (Lovett US and MS Orchestra Director),William Johnston, and Charae Kruger. The musicians, all principal players of the Atlanta Opera orchestra, performed this trio at the initial performance of the Molly Blank Jewish Concert Series. That concert, a special program commemorating the 75th anniversary of Kristallnacht was a moving event; the trio looks forward to repeating their performance of this engaging and dynamic piece and sharing it with a wider audience. http://vimeo.com/86719723

In the ghetto of Warsaw: Heinrich Jöst's photographs
Hotel owner Heinrich Jöst was a sergeant in the German army, stationed near Warsaw, who became curious about the corpses he had seen lying along the ghetto walls. So on his birthday, he made use of his free time and went into the ghetto with his camera. He had no idea what was awaiting him there. The amateur photographer shot several rolls of film in September 1941 and kept them for decades without showing them to anyone.
In 1982, he gave the photographs to Stern magazine reporter Gunther Schwarberg. The Jerusalem Documentation Center Yad Vashem pronounced them a ''unique find,'' and they certainly are—Jöst's pictures belong to the scant number of existing photographs of the Warsaw ghetto, and are critically important documentation of its history. We are pleased to be able to display them at Lovett.
