It's hard to believe the Sparks World Premiere was already two months ago! Since that time our Foundation has been busy preparing the CD for sale (it will be available on our website soon - www.thesparksflyupward.org) and fielding expressions of interest in future performances. Our goal now will be to figure out how we move forward from here to make sure that the success of Sparks continues. Stay tuned as we plan our future!
Since our mission is to teach about the Holocaust and genocide, I will be using this blog to pass along information about not only Sparks, but also about Holocaust and Genocide related events.
In the world of Holocaust Education, I recently saw and amazing documentary called "The Rape of Europa." The Rape of Europa explores how the Hitler Regime and the Holocaust impacted the art world and the people in it. Jews and museums had paintings stolen. Hitler and others amassed a large collection for themselves and for a planned museum in Hitler's home town. Curators at the Louvre and the Hermitage hid and died with their art. It's an incredible tale. You can rent it at places like Netflix, and they have a fabulous website. www.rapeofeuropa.com.
