Holocaust Museum Spring Break Programs

Holocaust Museum Houston (HMH) has a special Spring Break program schedule including daily tours, a magic show, Holocaust Survivor talks, and free admission on Thursday, March 13 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. 
On Tuesday, March 11, visitors can experience a family-friendly magic show from Richard Hatch in the Albert and Ethel Herzstein Theater on the Mady and Ken Kades Stage. Later that evening at 5:30 p.m., join HMH for this special evening with the magician as he shares the story of the German Jewish amateur magician and magic historian Guenther Dammann and the 1933 book he wrote in Berlin about Jewish magicians. Hatch will intertwine magic that might have been performed by Dammann and these great Jewish magicians into his presentation on the fascinating although unfortunately tragic tale of Guenther Dammann. Tickets to the evening lecture with magician Richard Hatch include parking fees and a reception with light bites. Learn more and reserve tickets at hmh.org/magic. 
Children and their guardians can participate in storytime at the Museum on Wednesday, March 12 at 1 p.m. At 3 p.m. that afternoon, Holocaust Survivor Elizabeth Bellak will share her sister Renia’s diary chronicling her daily life during the Holocaust. 
At 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 13, Holocaust Survivor Ruth Steinfeld will share her story. Holocaust Survivor Bill Orlin will meet with visitors on Thursday, March 20 at 2:30 p.m. 
On Thursdays, March 13 and 20 at 3:30 p.m., visitors can learn more about one of the Museum’s artifacts from HMH’s registrar.
On Thursday, March 20 at 6:30 p.m., join HMH and pianist Carolyn Enger for Mischlinge Exposé. The free evening program weaves a multimedia tapestry around a little-known aspect of the Holocaust: the Mischlinge (a derogatory Nazi term for those neither fully Jewish nor fully Aryan). Through telling her family story, Enger’s live documentary directly addresses universally significant issues of identity and inclusion, encouraging empathy, tolerance and engagement.
