SUMMARY:They Called Me Mayer: Painted Memories of a Jewish Childhood in Poland before the Holocaust with Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett
DESCRIPTION:Mayer Kirshenblatt was born in 1916 and left Poland for Canada in 1934. He taught himself to paint at age 73 and made it his mission to remember the world of his childhood in living color\, "lest future generations know more about how Jews died than how they lived." In this talk his daughter\, Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett\, will discuss her father's legacy and recent exhibitions of his work\, including the current exhibition at the POLIN Museum\, which presents a dialogue between Mayer's depictions of his youth in the shtetl and today's Opat w\, a post-Jewish town with no remaining Jewish community.
