I'll bring Grandma home...
I'll bring my grandmother home... Friday, April 14, 6 p.m., Malý Mehrin Museum, 14 Vídeňská Street I'll bring my grandmother home... Ann Altman wrote to us unexpectedly this February. She talked about the portrait of her grandmother Anna Wotzilka, after whom she was named Ann, and her plan to dedicate the painting to the future exhibition of the Mehrin - the Moravian Jewish Museum. She married Emil Löwy from Slavonice, who ran a mill in Znojmo. In Brno, the couple built two houses on Botanická Street, where they moved with their two children in the autumn of 1938 after the Nazis occupied Znojmo. They find a way for their daughter Isyna to escape to Britain, but not for themselves.An extraordinary lady, Ann Altman, granddaughter of the Löwy and Körner families, wife of Nobel Prize winner in chemistry Sidney Altman, successful scientist in the field of molecular biophysics and biochemistry, awarded for her long-standing support for the development of democratic processes in Mongolia, will guide us through the story of her Moravian family, which passes through Brno and Znojmo.The debate will be simultaneously interpreted into Czech. The stream of the programme can be watched on the Little Mehrin FB, and the recording will be available on the YouTube portal ofMehrin.
