I would like to invite you to join me next Wednesday April 10, 2013 at 6:30pm, at the Museum of Jewish Heritage to celebrate the publication of INTO THE LIGHT: The Healing Art of Kalman Aron, about artist Kalman Aron-one of the last career artists who is a living survivor of the Holocaust, and whose artwork represents a significant contribution to post-War American Emigré Art.

Author Susan Beilby Magee and the artist’s son, David Aron will share an intimate conversation moderated bycurator/scholar Jean Bloch Rosensaft, exploring Kalman’s universal story of healing, the nature of humankind, his own humanity and the mystery of life-on canvas. We are honored to have an esteemed group of Honorary Co-Chairs and Host Committee Members: Senator Kirsten Gillibrand; Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney; Congressman Jerrold Nadler; Former Congresswoman Lynn Schenk; Holocaust Scholar, Professor, Artist, Marc Dennis; Eva Fogelman, PhD; Rabbi Yehuda Sarna, Bronfman Center for Jewish Student Life at NYU; Honorable Debra Cooper; Joan Dean; Toby Goldberger; Hindy Kisch; and Harriet Mandel, The Global Round Table.
