Tue 1 Dec to Sun 7 Feb 2010. Albania, a European country with a Muslim majority, succeeded where other European nations failed in dealing with Nazi Germany. Almost all Jews living within Albanian borders during the German occupation – those of Albanian origin and refugees alike – were saved. In a five-year project, Colorado-based photographer Norman Gershman set out to collect the names of righteous, non-Jews who saved Jews during the Holocaust. He discovered that some of the names were of Albanian Muslims. He then began a quest to meet and photograph the Albanian rescuers or their descendents. 5401 Caroline Street, Houston, TX. 713-942-8000. Holocaust Museum Houston - [more][email][events]

Tue 1 Dec to Sun 3 Jan 2010. A Blessing to One Another: Pope John Paul II and the Jewish People August 28, 2009 through January 3, 2010 In the course of his papacy, John Paul II shattered the chain of 2,000 years of painful history between Catholics and Jews. The exhibit draws its name from the pope's 1993 appeal marking the 50th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising: “As Christians and Jews, following the example of the faith of Abraham, we are called to be a blessing to the world. This is the common task awaiting us. It is therefore necessary for us, Christians and Jews, to first be a blessing to one another.”. 5401 Caroline Street, Houston, TX. 713-942-8000.

Thu 3 Dec. Through his work as painter, photographer, sculptor, object maker, and poet, Man Ray recast the concept of artistic identity. As a complex figure who needed to be anonymous yet not blend in with the crowd, Man Ray was caught in an ongoing process of concealment and self-assertion. This lecture, by exhibition curator Mason Klein, will address how this conundrum became a critical part of Man Ray’s work. Klein argues this contradiction informed the ways in which Man Ray was able to use his art to reconcile his alienation as a Jew from a Russian immigrant family, for he managed to be at once assimilated and an outcast.
