SUMMARY:Paul Orgel - Music of Bach\, Beethoven and Brahms
DESCRIPTION:A concert to benefit Full Circle Preschool\nsponsored by Jeff Priest & Nazly Guzman\, Barbara McGrew & Fred Childs\, and Harvey & Debra Cohen Klein \nPianist Paul Orgel has concertized throughout the United States\, Europe\, and China as a recitalist\, soloist with orchestra and chamber musician. Critics have praised his playing for its “subtlety and attention to nuance” (Philadelphia Inquirer)\, “rare pathos” (New York Times)\, “brilliant technique\, sense of humor and fantasy” (Bridgeport Post)\, “warmth and beauty of sound” (Barre-Montpelier Times Argus)\, and “power and grace” (Vermont Times). \n\nClick Here for Tickets \n\nAn artist with a large\, varied repertoire\, Orgel has specialized in Czech music\, performing programs of the complete piano music of Janáček\, and music from Terezin\, and as a scholar of classical performance practice\, he has given recitals of Beethoven and Haydn on the Viennese fortepiano. He can be heard on recordings on CRI\, (the Grammy nominated “Music of Louis Moyse”\, with flutist Karen Kevra)\, Capstone\, (Fantasias by Curt Cacioppo)\, Phoenix USA (“Music from the Holocaust”: Berman\, Haas\, Klein\, and Ullmann) and MSR (Suk\, Chausson\, and Reger). A recent project (“Alchemy of Genius”) paired Bach Preludes and Fugues with Chopin Nocturnes in recordings available online at Vermont Public Radio.

SUMMARY:The Miller Center for Holocaust Studies: Lisa Leff on French-Jewish History
DESCRIPTION:The Miller Center for Holocaust Studies at the University of Vermont presents its Annual Holocaust Commemoration Lecture\, this year delivered by Lisa Moses Leff. \nDate and time: Tuesday\, April 8\, 2025\, 4pm \nPlace: 338 Waterman Building\, Burlington \nInfo: Write to Jonathan Huener at jhuener@uvm.edu \nLisa Moses Leff is a professor of history at American University in Washington\, D.C. She is the author of Sacred Bonds of Solidarity: The Rise of Jewish Internationalism in Nineteenth-Century France (2006). Her more recent book is The Archive Thief: The Man Who Salvaged French Jewish History in the Wake of the Holocaust (Oxford University Press\, 2015). \nIn The Archive Thief\, Leff tells the gripping story of the Jewish historian Zosa Szajkowski. Born into poverty in Russian Poland in 1911\, Szajkowski was a self-made man who made a life for himself as a journalist in 1930s Paris\, and then\, after a harrowing escape to New York in 1941\, as a scholar. Although he never taught at a university or even earned a PhD\, Szajkowski became one of the world’s foremost experts on the history of the Jews in modern France\, publishing in Yiddish\, English\, and Hebrew. His work opened up new ways of thinking about Jewish emancipation\, economic and social modernization\, and the rise of modern anti-Semitism. \nYet as Leff recounts\, Szajkowski stole tens of thousands of archival documents related to French Jewish history from public archives and collections in France and moved them\, illicitly\, to New York. Why did this respectable historian become a thief? And why did librarians in the United States and Israel accept these materials from him\, turning a blind eye to the signs of ownership they bore? \n  \n\n

SUMMARY:The Transformation of a Rabbi\, A Synagogue\, and Vermont's Religious Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Two local historians and archivists from Ohavi Zedek Synagogue in Burlington\, Jeff Potash\, Ph.D.\, and Aaron Goldberg\, J.D.\, will speak about the impact and legacy of Rabbi Max B. Wall (1915-2009). They will focus on his time as a U.S. Army chaplain in Europe during World War II and his work to construct the current Ohavi Zedek synagogue and community center in Burlington. Rabbi Wall was closely connected to Saint Michael’s College as a professor. An endowment in his honor has sponsored this annual lecture since 1986. This year\, for the first time\, the lecture will focus on Rabbi Wall himself. \nThe talk\, which is free and open to the public\, will take place at Saint Michael’s College’s McCarthy Arts Center Recital Hall.
