SUMMARY:Book Talk & Performance: The Piano Player of Budapest - Unearthing a family's melodies and memories
DESCRIPTION:When her father died\, singer songwriter Roxanne de Bastion inherited a piano she knew had been in her family for over a hundred years. But it is only when she finds a cassette recording of her grandfather\, Stephen\, playing one of his compositions\, the true and almost unbelievable history of the piano\, this man and her family begins to unravel. \nStephen de Bastion was a concert pianist and film composer and found success in and around his native Hungary in the 1930s. Being of Jewish descent\, Stephen was sent to the Russian front as a forced labourer. He survived both the labour camp\, as well as a lonely walk back from Russia after their group was disbanded and left to die\, as well as imprisonment in Mauthausen and Gunskirchen camps. \nJoin us for a Q&A with author Roxanne de Bastion to learn about Stephen’s remarkable story of survival\, as well as his music. Roxanne will be joined by her aunt Julie de Bastion (Stephen’s daughter)\, as they share thoughts on how trauma is passed down through generations and how shining a light on the past can be healing for future generations. \nThe evening will close with a performance of some of Stephen’s work by Roxanne.

SUMMARY:Hybrid Book Talk with LCSCA: The New Antisemitism\, Shalom Lappin
DESCRIPTION:This is an LCSCA event in collaboration with the Wiener Holocaust Library. \nGenerations raised after the Second World War took for granted a world of stability and prosperity\, and with it the waning of ancient hatreds. Recent decades have been more sobering. Instability and extremism have returned in force. \nAs Shalom Lappin explains in this worrying book\, an upsurge of antisemitism across the political spectrum has accompanied them. Recent events in the Middle East have transformed it into a tidal wave. \nReviews of ‘The New Antisemitism’: \n“This fine book has found its terrible moment. Shalom Lappin helps us to recognize\, understand and fight against the menace of antisemitism.”\nMichael Walzer\, Institute for Advanced Study\, Princeton University \n“A deep and thoughtful analysis of a pernicious phenomenon that has made a tragic reappearance in intellectual life.”\nSteven Pinker\, Johnstone Family Professor of Psychology at Harvard University and author of ‘Rationality’ \nAbout the Speaker\nShalom Lappin is Professor of Natural Language Processing at Queen Mary University of London\, Emeritus Professor of Computational Linguistics at King’s College London\, and Research Scientist at the Centre for Linguistic Theory and Studies in Probability at the University of Gothenburg. His main research interests are the application of machine learning to natural language\, and cognitive modelling of linguistic knowledge. He has written about political issues in publications such as Dissent and The Guardian. \nCatch up on this event via our YouTube channel: \n \nVirtual Event guidelines:\n\nThe Library will send you a Zoom link and joining instructions via email prior to the event. Please check your junk email folders.\nPlease try and join 5 minutes before the event start time and we will let you into the room (do try and bear with us if this takes a few minutes).\nIf you would like to ask a question during the event\, please type your question into the chat function\, and we will endeavour to answer as many questions as possible during the Q&A.
