SUMMARY:The Italian Genealogical Group presents “As Long As You Speak My Name\,”
DESCRIPTION:The Italian Genealogical Group presents “As Long As You Speak My Name\,” written narratives about Italian immigrants Saturday\, Jan. 27 • 12:30 to 2 pm \nThe book will be sold at this event. \nThe non-profit Italian Genealogical Group started a project of collecting immigrant stories of our relatives\, to keep the stories alive for future generations. The collection of stories in the book represents 13 of the 20 regions in Italy. The stories share the struggles of Italian immigrants when they reached America. Some are funny\, some are sad\, and some are unbelievable. \nThis engaging presentation will be led by group members Michael Genovese\, Mario Toglia and Marilyn Verna. \nSome reviews:  \nSo much life lived to the full\, so many lives cut short. So much sorrow\, so much joy\, so much FOOD. … Read these stories together if you can. Don’t stop. They are like instrumental music. … Like the old neighborhoods\, come back again. – Flavia Alaya\, Ph.D.\, New Jersey Historic Sites Council \nThis book validates the importance of preserving oral family remembrances in written form. As Italian Americans\, we need to link our history to that ancestral origin that typifies us and carry it on as our legacy for the generations yet to come. – Annalisa Sacca\, Ph.D.\, St. John’s University \nOrganized by Italy’s regions\, these small chapters are like tesserae in a mosaic. The editors have synthesized chronicles\, genealogy\, and local history into a narrative of immigration\, assimilation\, identity\, and self-knowledge. – Stanislao Pugliese\, Ph.D.\, Hofstra University

SUMMARY:The Italian Cultural Foundation presents the docufilm “Defiant Requiem”
DESCRIPTION:To commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day\, the Italian Cultural Foundation presents the docufilm “Defiant Requiem”\nIntroductory remarks by educator Lou Barrella. \nTuesday\, Jan. 23 at 7 pm \nDefiant Requiem\, a feature-length documentary film\, highlights the most dramatic example of intellectual and artistic courage in the Theresienstadt (Terezín) Concentration Camp during World War II: the remarkable story of Rafael Schächter\, a brilliant young Czech conductor who was arrested and sent to Terezín in 1941. \nHe demonstrated moral leadership under the most brutal circumstances\, determined to sustain courage and hope for his fellow prisoners by enriching their souls through great music. His most extraordinary act was to recruit 150 prisoners and teach them Verdi’s Requiem by rote in a dank cellar using a single score\, over multiple rehearsals\, and after grueling days of forced labor. \nThe Requiem was performed on 16 occasions for fellow prisoners. The last\, most infamous performance occurred on June 23\, 1944 before high-ranking SS officers from Berlin and the International Red Cross to support the charade that the prisoners were treated well and flourishing. \nWith testimony provided by surviving members of Schächter’s choir\, soaring concert footage\, cinematic dramatizations\, and evocative animation\, this unique film explores the singers’ view of the Verdi as a work of defiance and resistance against the Nazis. The text of the Requiem Mass enabled them\, as Schächter told the chorus\, to “sing to the Nazis what they could not say to them.”
