Discussion | Behind the Curtain: Actors from The Diary of Anne Frank 70 Years Later (in-person and online)


What was it like to be among the first to tell the story of The Diary of Anne Frank before it was known? The play debuted on Broadway in 1955, and later toured the country, eventually becoming one of the most influential plays of the 20th century. It introduced millions of Americans to the Holocaust and its victims. Eva Rubinstein and Steve Press, who played Margot Frank and Peter Van Daan in the original Broadway production, and Pauline Hahn, who played Anne Frank in a 1958 American tour, will join the Museum for a panel conversation. They will discuss how the play changed their lives, what it meant to them as people, creators, and actors, how is affected their careers, the story's legacy, and more. Using archival material and interviews with surviving cast and crew members, the Forward executive editor Adam Langer created a podcast to tell a story that's never been told. Langer will moderate this conversation, which marks the first time these artists have appeared onstage together in nearly 70 years.

Discussion | Why Write?: A Discussion


Beyond the publishing industry's tireless work catering to a market in flux, the landscape of culture, social politics, and online discourse shifts faster than novelists can write. How do writers keep up, stay relevant? Or does relevance or salability as defined by an industry's market response to social movements even have an effect on how writers write or should write? Ottessa Moshfegh speaks with three very different novelists--Rachel Kushner (The Mars Room, Flamethrowers), Min Jin Lee (Pachinko, Free Food for Millionaires), and Akhil Sharma (Family Life, A Life of Adventure and Delight)--to discuss why they write, how they want their readers to read, and what responsibility they feel, if any, to promote or respond to the moral discourse of the day.
