PROGRAM MEETING
A Unique Performance by Pianist Carolyn Enger
Tuesday, October 19, Noon, Via Zoom
A Unique Performance by Pianist Carolyn Enger
Reservations should be emailed to office@ncjwpeninsula.org no later than October 15th. The Zoom code will be sent to you on October 18th.
Carolyn’s performance project, the Mischlinge Exposé, centers around her family history and the Mischling designation. The concert interweaves the music of prominent converts with testimony from Carolyn’s godmother, Rosemarie Steinfeld, and her father, Horst Enger, who was considered by the Nazi regime a Mischling, Grade A. Performances of works by Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn, Arnold Schoenberg, Alexander Zemlinsky, and Gustav Mahler illustrate the historical situations so aptly described through poetry by Rachel Varnhagen and Heinrich Heine. Through the lens of historical context and personal testimony, the performance traces a story of conversion from Judaism to Christianity and back and the continuing struggle for identity.

Our Democracy is at it’s Strongest When Every Voice is Heard
SPEAKERS: Barbara Epstein and Paula Blum

RSVP to the NCJW Peninsula Section office by October 25th if you would like to attend. Email us at office@ncjwpeninsula.org or call us at 516-569-3660. Once you RSVP you will receive the Zoom link on October 27th.
