Live From Edmond J. Safra Hall™: Carolyn Enger’s Mischlinge Exposé

19th January 2021 @ 2:00 pm

Join us for Carolyn Enger’s Mischlinge Exposé, a powerful piano concert and discussion exploring the stories of people with mixed Jewish and Aryan ancestry in Nazi Germany.

Carolyn Enger is a pianist based in the greater New York City area, with roots reaching back to Breslau, now Wroclaw, Poland. Her Mischlinge Exposé brings to light the stories of Mischlinge—a derogatory term used by the Nazis to describe people with both Jewish and Aryan ancestry—like her father and godmother, interwoven with the music and writings of prominent German Jewish converts and Mischlinge.

Join the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, the German Consulate General in New York, and the Fritz Ascher Society for Persecuted, Ostracized, and Banned Art for a stirring performance of Enger’s Mischlinge Exposé, Live from Edmond J. Safra Hall™. The performance will be followed by a discussion between Enger and Rachel Stern, Founding Director and CEO of the Fritz Ascher Society.
