Join The Smithsonian Associates for a special Zoom lecture! Drawing on his new book, The Escape Artist, Jonathan Freedland recounts the extraordinary story of Rudolf Vrba, a man he feels deserves to take his place alongside Anne Frank, Oskar Schindler, and Primo Levi as one of a handful of individuals whose experiences define our understanding of the Holocaust.
Freedland is a British journalist who writes a weekly column for The Guardian and is the author of 11 books.
If you'd like to purchase a copy of The Escape Artist: The Man Who Broke Out of Auschwitz to Warn the World (Harper), please select below and Adath Israel will mail a copy to your home prior to the start of the program.

Movie location trivia for travel lovers! Did you know that Place Royale in Quebec City was a location where the final scene of “Catch Me If You Can” was filmed? It’s where Tom Hanks finally captures Leonardo DiCaprio. Simon Pelletier shares the story and guided me through while filming my new Quebec episode coming out on PBS and streaming this winter. What the heck are we wearing!?!? We are dressed up for the annual New France Festival. You can hang out with Simon and me on a livestream December 1st with Smithsonian Associates. Tickets at Darley.link/quebeccity.
Join friends of American Prairie Chase Reynolds Ewald and Audrey Hall for a seminar on Monday, Nov. 14, from 7-8:30 p.m. EST!
Information for the event courtesy of Smithsonian Associates:
Longtime collaborators Audrey Hall and Chase Reynolds Ewald have been following in the hoofprints of bison since their first childhood visits to Yellowstone National Park. Their book Bison: Portrait of an Icon celebrates the species through Hall’s photography and Ewald’s words.
Join the pair as they share their tales and their journey, offering a visual tour of the mountains and plains and touching down in spectacular and often-hidden locations throughout the mountain states. They cover the highlights of the bison story: its history, cultural significance, near decimation and remarkable comeback; introduce some memorable characters; and share some surprising tidbits about these all-American beasts.
Tickets available here:
Virtual Event: Karen Bakker joins Smithsonian Associates for an evening lecture and a discussion on her newest book The Sounds of Life: How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants, November 3, 6:45 pm - 8:00 pm EDT.

: Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian houses one of the world’s largest and most diverse collections of its kind. The museum’s sweeping curvilinear architecture, indigenous landscaping, and exhibitions, all designed in collaboration with tribes and communities from across the hemisphere, combine to give visitors from around the world the sense and spirit of Native America.
Four hundred years ago, the Chesapeake Bay region was abundant in forests, wetlands, meadows, and Algonquian peoples’ croplands. The National Museum of the American Indian restores these environments and is home to more than 27,000 trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants representing 145 species. Visitors to this museum can walk through and learn about the history, legacy, and stories of American Indians across the nation.
