MFOUND: MC connection to a touching Holocaust story

Train derailed from deadly mission
Surviving the Holocaust
Last in a series
By Jason Fields

*** begin quote ***

Mr. Spett worked as a designer of women’s handbags, and, later in life, began speaking about the Holocaust to students and other groups. He worked with others to create the Holocaust Resource Center at Manhattan College with Frederick Schweitze in the mid-1990s.

*** and ***

Mr. Spett asked that these be the final words to his story in The Riverdale Press:

“We survivors will not forsake the memories of those who died in the concentration camps and gas chambers throughout Europe. Mankind must be taught, and reminded repeatedly, of the horrendous tragedy of the Holocaust.”

*** end quote ***

[JR: Hard not to be moved. Hard to realize that it CAN happen here. Hard to realize how inhumane some humans can become. A political lesson for today. No matter how acrimonious the debate; we have to insist everyone be treated with basic human dignity. Even politicians and bureaucrats! It's hard, but we must.]

JHQ: New Major in Art History

July 29, 2010 · Leave a Comment

http://www.manhattan.edu/news/news_releases/061710_1.shtml

June 17, 2010

New Major in Art History at Manhattan College

RIVERDALE, N.Y. – Beginning in the fall semester of 2010, Manhattan College’s School of Arts will be offering a major in art history. The new major, the first for the College’s fine arts department, will examine art and architecture created from the ancient to the contemporary worlds within broad historical and cultural contexts.

Art history majors will be required to take courses in both the earlier (Medieval and Renaissance) and later (Baroque and Modern) periods, as well as courses in World Arts and art history methodologies. Electives ranging from ancient to American art can also be structured to emphasize museum studies and to take advantage of the numerous opportunities for internships in the New York area. Majors will study the world-class architecture, galleries, libraries, and museums in New York City. The newly introduced course in Monasticism and the Arts, for example, will draw heavily on the collections of the Cloisters, just as the course in the New York City Skyscraper focuses on buildings in midtown and downtown Manhattan.

Chair of the fine arts department, Dr. Mark A. Pottinger, enthusiastically described the program. “The art history major at Manhattan College addresses the creative energy that is found among students who want to live and study in New York City, known throughout the world as a major center for art and culture. As an art history major, you will not only study the artists and museums that define art in New York and throughout the world but you will also come to articulate how visual culture in general informs and challenges our own hopes and immediate desires.”

The College is expanding its full time fine arts faculty to meet the new demands on the department. Po Yin Auyeung, who holds her doctorate from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, specializes in modern art history and Asian art. Daniel Savoy, a renaissance specialist who recently completed his doctorate at the Institute for Fine Arts, New York University, will join the department in the fall. Dr. Richard Emmerson, the dean of the School of Arts, is also a specialist in medieval art history and will be teaching in the department.

Dr. Emmerson pointed to Manhattan College’s long legacy of liberal arts education. “The addition of an Art History major to a College with such a rich heritage of liberal arts education was an easy and logical decision. Manhattan will draw on both its own faculty and the knowledge and creativity of New York City to provide a top notch curriculum.”

The fine arts department also offers minors in art history, digital media art, and music, along with courses required of all students to fulfill the College’s core requirements.

William J. Burke
1917-2010

SPRINGFIELD – Leaving a legacy of love, William J. “Bill” Burke, 92, of Spring-field, departed this life for his eternal reward on Monday, July 26, 2010 from Wingate at Springfield.

He was born in Chicago IL, son of the late William and Alice (McDonald) Burke and graduated from Manhattan College in New York City. Bill served his country as a United States Army Veteran of World War II, and had lived in Troy New York before coming to Springfield more than 55 years ago. He was employed as a Newspaper Editor for the Springfield Newspapers in Springfield MA from 1955 until his retirement in 1981.

Bill was a member of the Kiwanis Club, a founding member of the Valley Press Club, a bridge player at the Springfield Senior Center, and an avid fan of the New York Yankees. He was a kind, generous man with a wonderful sense of humor and love of life. He was a proud father, avid reader, devoted husband, and a friend to everyone, especially those less fortunate. Bill always left those he came in contact with feeling special; it was always about you, not him.

He was predeceased by his beloved wife of 49 years, Lucille (Higgins) Burke on April 22, 1995. Bill is survived by a daughter, Patricia Kearns and her husband James of Springfield, two sons: Michael E. Burke and his wife Deborah Ann of Coral Springs FL, and William F. Burke and his wife Monique LaRiviere of South Hadley, 5 grandchildren: Kerry E. Antilla and her husband Mark of Davie FL, Kathryn Ann Burke of Coral Springs FL, Thomas Burke of Seattle WA, William Burke of CA, and Raymond Burke of NC.

The funeral will be held Friday morning at 8:30 from the Barry J. Farrell Funeral Home, 2049 Northampton Street, Holyoke, followed by a Mass in Sacred Heart Church on Chestnut Street in Springfield at 10:00. Burial will follow at Calvary Cemetery, Chicopee. Calling hours will be held Thursday from 4:00 to 8:00 pm. Memorial contributions may be made to Beacon Hospice, 529 Main St. Suite 101, Boston MA 02129 or to St. Jude Childrens Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis TN 38105.
