As we approach International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Frazier will host an author talk featuring Dr. Alex Kor and Graham Honaker. Kor’s father survived Buchenwald concentration camp, and his mother survived Auschwitz with her twin sister. The twins were subjected to the inhumane experiments of Dr. Josef Mengele. As Kor says, it’s my parents’ remarkable Holocaust story and my fight to keep their legacy alive.
As we approach Presidents’ Day in February, also known as George Washington’s Birthday, we’re sharing more about Martha Washington. Known as Lady Washington, she was considered formidable, a worthy partner of her husband, who very much helped create a sense of what the presidency is today. As part of our nation’s 250 celebration, join us as we partner with the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) for this program showcasing important artifacts, including a swatch of Martha Washington’s wedding dress, that will be on display in our Founder’s Gallery. We’ll also explore how she helped establish precedents as a social hostess, but also as a model of public service and sacrifice.
