Thursday, May 7-Sunday, June 7
PAGE AT A TIME EXHIBITION—What do animals, global warming, and political debates have in common? Books. Not the kind of books you find in a typical bookstore, but unique, student-created works that explore the broad theme of conflict and resolution. Page at a Time is an innovative arts education program developed by The Wolfsonian for fourth- and fifth-grade students that is now in its twelfth year. The works of students from Wesley Mathews Elementary, Southside Elementary, Ada Merritt K-8 Center, Gertrude K Edelman-Sabal Palm Elementary, and South Pointe Elementary are on display in the museum's lobby. Free and open to the public.

CINEMA 2 AT THE WOLF
is an ongoing documentary film series presented in collaboration with WPBT-Channel 2.

Thursday, May 7, 2pm
INHERITANCE (2008, USA, James Moll, 75 min, English, color, DVD)—Monika Hertwig, the daughter of mass murderer Amon Goeth, has spent her life in the shadow of her father's sins, trying to come to terms with her "inheritance." She seeks out Helen Jonas, previously enslaved by Goeth and one of the few living eyewitnesses to his unspeakable brutality. The women's raw, emotional meeting unearths terrible truths and lingering questions about how the actions of our parents can ripple through generations. Presented in collaboration with P.O.V., PBS' award-winning nonfiction film series. Free.
