SUMMARY:Panel DiscussionExpressionisms: Germany and the United States Camp Concert Hall  Modlin Center for the Arts Richmond\, VA
DESCRIPTION:February 12\, 2020\n6:00-8:00pm\nCamp Concert Hall\nModlin Center for the Arts\n453 Westhampton Way\nRichmond\, VA 23173\nInformation: 804-289-8276 \nPanel Discussion\nExpressionisms: Germany and the United States \nAmong the diverse descriptive labels attached to the art of Fritz Ascher\, perhaps none is more evocative and distinct than “expressionist.” In the context of visual art\, that term has\, over the past century and a half\, connoted the articulation of strong emotion–through color\, brush work\, and the aggressive representation of figures and the elements of nature. This discussion will consider ways in which these features\, particularly in painting\, can explore and have explored embodying emotion and provoking it in the viewer. Also discussed will be the relationships of political identity\, the workings of the unconscious mind\, and the realm of the spiritual to the work of Ascher and other important artists\, before and contemporary with him\, both in Europe and the United States \nModerated by\nSarah Eckhardt\, Associate Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art\, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts\, Richmond \nWith speakers: \nEckhart Gillen\, Independent Curator\, Berlin\n“German and American Expressionism 1914\, 1933 and 1941: Franz Marc\, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Mark Rothko. Manifestations of National Identity and the Break of Civilization” \nElizabeth Berkowitz\, Mellon/ACLS Public Fellow\, Rockefeller Archive Center\n“Fritz Ascher and Ideological Color in Modern Art” \nOri Z. Soltes\, Teaching Professor\, Center for Jewish Civilization\, Georgetown University\, Washington D.C.\n“Expressionism and Spirituality” \nThe event is sponsored by the Joel and Lila Harnett Museum of Art\, University of Richmond and The Fritz Ascher Society. It is co-sponsored by Allianz Partners.

SUMMARY:"Fritz Ascher\, Expressionist"Joel and Lila Harnett Museum of Art\, University of Richmond\, Richmond\, VA (USA)
DESCRIPTION:“Fritz Ascher: Expressionist” presents works by this German Jewish artist\, who lived through the Weimar Republic\, the Nazi regime\, and into the postwar years. With the support of prominent Berlin painter Max Liebermann\, Fritz Ascher (1893–1970) studied in Berlin before traveling to Oslo\, where he met Edvard Munch. During a prolonged stay in Munich\, he associated with the artists who contributed to Simplicissimus magazine\, and back in Berlin\, he fell in with the artists of Die Brücke. His early work is steeped in old myths\, spirituality\, and reflections on the human condition. From 1933 he was forbidden to produce\, exhibit\, or sell his art. Interned at the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp in 1938\, he survived the Nazi era mostly in hiding\, writing poetry. After 1945 he returned to painting\, expressing his inner turmoil in colorful\, mystical landscapes devoid of human figures. The exhibition comprises 70 paintings and works on paper\, ranging from Ascher’s early academic studies to his final landscapes. “Fritz Ascher: Expressionist” is accompanied by an illustrated catalogue. \n“Fritz Ascher: Expressionist” is organized by the Fritz Ascher Society for Persecuted\, Ostracized and Banned Art\, Inc. and curated by director Rachel Stern.

SUMMARY:Conference: Welcoming the Stranger. Abrahamic Hospitality and Its Contemporary ImplicationsGeorgetown University\, Washington D.C.
DESCRIPTION:Welcoming the Stranger: Abrahamic Hospitality and Its Contemporary Implications\nOne of the signal moments in the narrative of the biblical Abraham is his insistent and enthusiastic reception of three strangers. That moment is a beginning point of inspiration for all three Abrahamic traditions as they evolve and develop the details of their respective teachings. On the one hand\, welcoming the stranger by remembering “that you were strangers in the land of Egypt” is enjoined upon the ancient Israelites\, and on the other\, oppressing the stranger is condemned by their prophets throughout the Hebrew Bible. These sentiments will be repeated in the New Testament and the Qur’an and elaborated in the interpretive literatures of Judaism\, Christianity\, and Islam. \nSuch notions have been seriously challenged on many occasions throughout history—at no time more profoundly than in the 20thand 21stcenturies. The Holocaust began by the decision of the German government in the mid-1930s to turn specific groups of German citizens into strangers\, a process that expanded over the following decade to overrun much of Europe. \nDeliberate marginalization leading to genocide is all too apparent in the next half century from Bosnia and Cambodia to Rwanda. In the aftermath of September 11\, 2001\, the United States—which has wrestled with the question of welcoming the stranger since the turn into mid-19th century—began an emphatic twist toward closing the door on those seeking refuge on these shores by the early 20thcentury. We have arrived at an unprecedented slamming of that door within the last two years—and have marginalized particular religious and ethnic groups. The repercussions may be felt across the globe. \nThe purpose of this conference is to explore these issues\, from both a theoretical and theological perspective and a perspective that examines concrete historical instances within the past 85 years in which aspects of these issues have played out. \nProgram \nMorning \nWelcome and Introduction Ori Z Soltes\, CJC \nRachel Gartner\, Georgetown Jewish Chaplain (“Welcoming the Stanger in Judaism”) \nRev Craig Mousin\, DePaul University; Refugee and Forced Migration Studies (“Welcoming the Stranger in Christianity”) \nZeki Saritoprak\, Nursi Chair in Islamic Studies\, John Carroll University (“Welcoming the Stranger in Islam”) \nLUNCH BREAK  \nAfternoon \nRachel Stern\, Founding Director\, Fritz Ascher Society for Persecuted\, Oppressed\, and Banned Artists \nLindsay Balfour\, Assistant Professor\, Communication Studies\, Concordia College\, and author of Hospitality in a Time of Terror: Strangers at the Gate \nQ&A with all five speakers \nOri Z Soltes introduces and moderates \n  \nThe event is organized by Georgetown University’s Center for Jewish Civilization and co-sponsored by the Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding\, Department of Theology and Religious Studies\, Georgetown Jewish Life\, and The Fritz Ascher Society for Persecuted\, Ostracized and Banned Art\, Inc.

SUMMARY:Im Reich der Nummern. Wo die Männer keine Namen haben.Gedenkstätte und Museum Sachsenhausen
DESCRIPTION:“In the Country of Numbers. Where the Men have no Names” tells the story of the detention and exile of November pogrom prisoners in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp on the basis of twelve individual destinies. One of those individuals is Fritz Ascher. The interviews presented in the exhibition with children and grandchildren of the persecuted as well as family biographical photos and documents are new material first shown in Germany\, which was researched in the USA\, Great Britain and Israel. \nMore than 6\,300 Jewish men were brought to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp after the November pogroms in 1938. After a few weeks\, the vast majority was set free\, with the condition to emigrate immediately from Germany. Many have therefore survived. How was the life of these families influenced by forced emigration? What did the emigrants expect in their countries of refuge? Did they find a new home? These questions are addressed by the exhibition from the perspective of the children and grandchildren of those men. \n“Im Reich der Nummern. Wo die Männer keine Namen haben.” erzählt die Geschichte von Haft und Exil der Novemberpogrom-Gefangenen im KZ Sachsenhausen anhand von zwölf individuellen Schicksalen. Einer dieser Individuen ist Fritz Ascher. Bei den in der Ausstellung präsentierten Interviews mit Kindern und Enkeln der Verfolgten sowie familien-biografischen Fotos und Dokumenten handelt es sich um neues\, in Deutschland erstmals gezeigtes Material\, das in den USA\, Großbritannien und Israel recherchiert werden konnte. \nÜber 6\,300 jüdische Männer wurden nach den November-Pogromen 1938 in das KZ Sachsenhausen gebracht. Die grosse Mehrheit kam nach einigen Wochen unter der Auflage wieder frei\, sofort aus Deutschland zu emigrieren. Viele haben deshalb überlebt. Wie wurde das Leben dieser Familien durch die erzwungene Emigration beeinflusst? Was erwartete die Emigranten in ihren Zufluchtsländern? Fanden sie eine neue Heimat? Diesen Fragen geht die Ausstellung aus der Perspektive der Kinder und Enkel jener Männer nach.

SUMMARY:"Umkämpfte Wege der Moderne. Wilhelm Schmid und die Novembergruppe" 

Potsdam Museum - Forum für Kunst und Geschichte\, Potsdam (Germany)
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition “Umkämpfte Wege der Moderne. Wilhelm Schmid und die Novembergruppe” is dedicated to the controversial epoch of 1918-1933 and the radical changes during the following period. (link) \nSome of the artistic pioneers took the 1918/1919 revolution as an opportunity to unite as the “November Group”\, probably the most prominent political artistic group of the Weimar Republic. These self-proclaimed “revolutionaries of the mind” set out on new paths of artistic expression with their motives\, colors and forms\, rejecting the old imperial conventions in form and content. \nThe members of the group not only caused a sensation with their revolutionary demand to participate in the new state in all art-related issues. For in the exhibitions – primarily at the Great Berlin Art Exhibition – their paintings\, watercolors\, graphics and sculptures were among the most discussed and controversial works. This radicalism of artistic expression\, which distinguished the group especially until 1923\, is sometimes tangible in the works of art shown. \nIncluded in this exhibition is a drawing by Fritz Ascher\, who witnessed the November Revolution in Berlin in 1918 and\, as an artistic chronicler\, has captured the chaos in the streets. \nOne of the main actors of the “November Group” was the cosmopolitan\, painter\, architect Wilhelm Schmid (1892-1971). Before the First World War he had moved from Switzerland to vibrant Berlin\, then in 1914 met his future wife Maria in Potsdam and settled there. After hostility by the National Socialists\, he left Potsdam together with his Jewish wife in 1937.

SUMMARY:Ceremony placing “Stolperstein”  Niklasstraße 21/23\, Berlin (Germany)
DESCRIPTION:Ceremony placing “Stolperstein”\nNiklasstraße 21/23\, Berlin (Germany)\nFebruary 21\, 2018\, 11:00-12:00am \nA “Stolperstein” (stumbling block) was placed as memorial in front of Niklasstraße 21/23 in Berlin-Zehlendorf\, where Fritz Ascher’s family lived from 1909 \nOn Wednesday\, February 21\, 11:00am at Niklasstr. 21/23 in Berlin-Zehlendorf Fritz Ascher got a “Stolperstein” (stumbling stone): \n“HERE LIVED\nFRITZ ASCHER\nBORN 1893\n“PROTECTIVE IMPRISONMENT” 1938\nPRISON POTSDAM\n1939 RELEASED\nFROM 1942 IN HIDING\nSURVIVED” \n“Stolpersteine” (stumbling stones) is a project of the artist Gunter Demnig. The project commemorates people who were persecuted by the German Nazis between 1933 and 1945. \n“Stolpersteine ‘ are concrete blocks measuring 10 x 10 cm\, which are laid into the pavement in front of the last voluntarily chosen places of residence of the victims of the Nazis. Their names and fate are engraved into a brass plate on the top of each “Stolperstein”. \nSince 1996\, thousands “of Stolpersteine” were installed in Berlin. Today\, “Stolpersteine” can be found in 1099 German cities and in 20 European countries. More information about this project can be found at https://www.stolpersteine-berlin.de/en. \nI was touched by how many neighbors and friends from near and far came out into the chilly but sunny winter day to celebrate Fritz Ascher and recognize his persecution by the National Socialists by laying a “Stolperstein” (stumbling block) at Niklasstraße 21/23 in Berlin-Zehlendorf. Here\, his family had lived from 1909. Thank you to the anonymous donor for making this event possible\, to Dirk Jordan (AG Stolpersteine)\, Michael Rohrmann (Projekt Stolpersteine) and Wolfgang Ellerbrock for organizing it\, to Cornelie von Bismarck for creating a beautiful context\, and to Sabine Witt\, director of Museum Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf in Berlin and Jutta Götzmann\, director of Potsdam Museum for supporting it. A special thank you to the students from Potsdam for reciting poems by Fritz Ascher – these and the speeches helped commemorate an extraordinary artist and human being\, whose creative output in paintings\, drawings\, lithographs and poems is now accessible again.

SUMMARY:"Sechs Wochen sind fast wie lebenslänglich..." Das Potsdamer Polizeigefängnis Priesterstrasse / Bauhofstrasse 
Stiftung Gedenkstätte Lindenstrasse\, Potsdam (Germany)
DESCRIPTION:Stiftung Gedenkstätte Lindenstrasse in Potsdam examines for the first time the history of the Potsdam police prison\, the prison where Fritz Ascher spent almost 5 months in 1939. When the prison building in what is today Henning-von-Tresckow-Strasse was torn down in 2002\, Potsdam historian Hannes Wittenberg was able to save two original artefacts\, both today in the collection of the Potsdam Museum: an original prison door and a model of the prison building built by prisoners in the 1980s for fire protection exercises. Both objects are on display in the exhibition\, together with original photographs and documents of the prison building. Fritz Ascher is one of the former prisoners\, whose biography is being told. (website link) \nQuestions being asked in the exhibition are: When and why was the prison being built? Who was detained there? The exhibition also turns the spotlight on the Gestapo regional office in Potsdam and members of the Potsdam Gestapo. The prison’s later use as a remand centre for the Ministry of State Security (Stasi) is also highlighted. \nThe exhibition is organized in cooperation with the first ever retrospective of the Expressionist Fritz Ascher (Berlin 1893-1970) that is on view at the places where Fritz Ascher lived and worked\, with parallel exhibitions at Potsdam Museum (December 10\, 2017 – March 11\, 2018) and at Museum Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf in der Villa Oppenheim (December 8\, 2017 – March 11\, 2018). \nPhotos ©Dr. Bauers\, Potsdam (nos. 1\, 2)
