In conjunction with the first American exhibition of the works of German-born Jewish ceramic artist Grete Marks, titled “Grete Marks: When Modern Was Degenerate,” the Sam and Helen Stahl Center for Jewish Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the museum present the last in a series of films on the role of art during World War II, which have been followed by talkbacks with UWM faculty.
This film will be “The Train” (1964). It tells of a Nazi German colonel (Paul Scofield) who loads a train with French art treasures to send to Germany. A French resistance fighter (Burt Lancaster) must stop the train without damaging the cargo.
The screening will take place Thursday, Dec. 6, 6:15 p.m., in the museum’s Lubar Auditorium. Carl Bogner, senior lecturer at UWM, will lead the after-screening talkback.
The Marks exhibit runs through Jan. 1. For more information, contact the Stahl Center, 414-229-6121, or the MAM, 414-224-3200.
