Love, Loss & Legacy: Isidor and Ida Straus & The Titanic

Sunday, April 1, 2012, 3:00 PM

One hundred years ago, on April 15, 1912, the largest passenger steamship of the day sank in one of the saddest maritime disasters in history. Among the victims were Macy's owner Isidor Straus and his wife Ida. Their example of love and heroism forms one of the truly remarkable stories of the Titanic.

Direct descendants of Isidor and Ida Straus will be present to discuss their legacy, which will be placed in an historical context by Professor Steven Biel, Executive Director of the Humanities Center and Senior Lecturer in History and Literature at Harvard University. Original artifacts and documents from the Titanic, belonging to the Straus Family, will be on display.

A wine, cheese & dessert reception will follow the program. The newly republished 100th Anniversary Edition of the Autobiography of Isidor Straus will be available for purchase and inscription by the editor and Straus descendants.

Length: 2 hrs 00 mins
Intermission: None
Seating: General Admission
You choose your seats when you get to the theater.
