Film | Fioretta (2023): Documentary, Reclaiming 500 Years of Your Family Story


Fioretta follows American lawyer and genealogist E. Randol Schoenberg and his 18-year-old son Joye on their journey through Europe to uncover 500 years of their family's history. Their exploration spans Austria, Italy, and the Czech Republic, culminating in the search for Fioretta, the family's matriarch buried five centuries ago in a Venetian Jewish cemetery.. Randy is renowned for recovering Nazi-looted art, portrayed by Ryan Reynolds in Woman in Gold, but his greatest achievement might just be reuniting the fractured and scattered shards of his own family.  Screening is followed by a talkback with Joey Schoenberg and the head of provenance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales Lucian Simmons.

Talk | Holocaust Survivor Leo Ullman in Conversation


Leo Ullman survived the Holocaust in hiding with strangers as a toddler—in Amsterdam, the same city where Anne Frank and her family hid and were later discovered. His parents, who also went into hiding in a separate location, were told nothing about his caretakers or his location in order to help keep him safe. Only after the war did Leo realize that the loving couple who had raised him for years were not his biological parents. He later learned just how many of the Dutch families nearby knew about the young Jewish boy in hiding and chose to protect him. Ullman came to the United States in 1947, served in the U.S. Marine Corps, and practiced law for more than 30 years. He also served as a Director of the Anne Frank Center USA for two decades and as its Chairman for 7 years. At this program, Leo Ullman will share his memories, in conversation with Kyra Schuster, Lead Acquisitions Curator at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. On the Museum's staff since 1994, Schuster acquires new materials for the Museum's permanent collection and has worked on numerous special exhibitions, Museum publications, and online programs. This program is suitable for families with children ages 11 and above.
