Anti-masonic Poster Show Catalog

Seventeen posters from my collection are showing as part of the 7th annual Jewish Film Festival in Zagreb, Croatia. These seventeen are from the original twenty posters created to announce the Nazi anti-masonic show in Belgrade in 1941. The show and posters were part of the German Nazi anti-masonic and anti-semitic propaganda.

Celebrated Croatian graphic designer, 
Dejan Krsic, donated his time designing the catalog for the show. The show and printing of the catalog were made possible by generous donations from the AIC Foundation Inc.

JFF Lecture

On May 20, during the Zagreb Jewish Film Festival, I lectured about  “Symbols of Hate”
The lecture dealt with local and regional issues of suppression, ignorance of visual symbols 
and the hate speech of neo-Nazi groups (skinheads, neo-Nazis and radical soccer fans), 
which have recently increased in strength, in frequency and in violence.

The event was attended by many students. There was a lively debate after the lecture 
amongst the professors and students that lasted almost as long as the lecture itself. 
This was pretty unusual, but encouraging.

Challenged Athletes Foundation Gala Invitations

We just received invitations that we designed for "Heroes, Heart, and Hope," an annual gala event, hosted by Challenged Athletes Foundation, that celebrates challenged athletes of all ages.

This year's theme was "Leave Your Limits at the Door," honoring "The Heroes of Boston."
The individuals who risked their own lives to save others became true heroes at the
2013 Boston Marathon.
