Holocaust Learning Experience MorseLife NEXT GENERATIONS 2023/2024 The Art, Music, and Poetry of the Holocaust with Dr. Robert Watson

Sponsored By

March 13, 2024 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Dr. Watson tells the compelling stories of noted Jewish artists, composers, poets, and intellectuals who, against all odds, found a way to ply their craft inside the camps. They produced impressive and poignant works of art to preserve a degree of humanity in the face of almost certain death and left behind a record of Hitler’s attempt to eradicate not just a group of people, but an entire culture. Dr. Watson, a noted historian, author, professor, political commentator and community leader, joined the faculty of Lynn University in 2007 after spending 15 years teaching at universities around the country. He has published over 40 books and has been seen on local, national, and international television, radio, print and online outlets, including CNN, MSNBC, BBC, Time, USA Today and The New York Times. Admission is $36. Register by March 6, 2024.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
