April 26  MOMBAROCCIO VILLAGE OF HEROES: SAVING THE FAMILY SARANO
American Italian Heritage Museum
1227 Central Avenue - Albany, NY  (518) 435-1979.
This Jewish-Catholic Dialogue Lecture, led by La Rabinessa Liora Kelman of Congregation Beth Israel, will discuss how her family, the Saranos of Milan, were saved from the Holocaust in the small village of Mombaroccio where her Nonno (grandfather) saved thousands of lives by hiding the lists of the Milanese Jewish community. A new book “Siamo Qui Siamo Vivi” (“We are here, we are alive”) is a result of research by Robert Mazzoli, who brought to light the diary of Alfredo Sarano, which was guarded for over seventy years in a drawer by his daughters Matilde, Vittoria and Miriam. The diary re-emerges from the past adding new, precious pages of history to the book of the genocide of the Jewish people, framing it in the historical context of the time and reporting the testimonies of the survivors. It was presented in the Italian parliament on March 15th. In addition, a first-time screening of a short film, “Il Giardino Dei Giusti” (“The Garden of the Righteous”), will take place. This event is sponsored by the Jewish-Catholic Dialogue Committee, Jewish Federation of Northeastern NY, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany, and the American Italian Heritage Museum. Free and open to the public, a reception will follow.

April 27 - May 5    MR. BURNS, A POST-ELECTRIC PLAY
Schwartz Center For The Performing Arts
430 College Avenue  - Ithaca, NY  (607) 254-2702.
Written by Anne Washburn
Directed by Jayme Kilburn
Co-sponsored by the Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program and by Nancy and Morey Storck. "Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play" by Anne Washburn begins with eight friends gathered around a fire trying to recall the plot from The Simpsons' episode "Cape Feare." As they slowly piece together the story, it is revealed that they are escaping from the nuclear fallout of an unnamed apocalyptic event. Seven years after the first scene, the same group has created a pop culture theater troupe in the remains of a decaying civilization. Ultimately, Mr. Burns is a critique of capitalism and a reminder of the indelible effect of stories (wherever they may be found).

Rensselaer Land Trust will share results of data collected by citizen science volunteers from 18 stream sites in Rensselaer County. The presentation intends to improve community knowledge, awareness and stewardship about local water resources. Find out if you should be letting your kids (or your pet dog) wade in local streams, and learn how you can make a difference in your watershed.

Anyone interested in the human impacts on the quality of our water resources may attend. Spokespersons from United States Geological Survey, one of the partnering organizations for this project, will be on hand to answer questions.
