SCREENING AND DISCUSSION
Tue, Apr 6, 8:15 pm, $27
ANNE FRANK'S DIARY: THE BEAUTY THAT REMAINS
Watch a sneak preview of scenes from MASTERPIECE's new production of The Diary of Anne Frank, the most accurate-ever adaptation of
Anne's moving account of life hiding from the Nazis. Delve into the profound, moving portrayal of Anne as a bright, charming, and
difficult teenager-and as the gifted writer she was destined to become. A discussion follows the screening with the film's lead
actress, Ellie Kendrick; award-winning performer Whoopi Goldberg; MASTERPIECE executive producer Rebecca Eaton, and author Francine
Prose, whose new work, Anne Frank: The Book, the Life, the Afterlife), was published last September. The Diary of Anne Frank airs on
MASTERPIECE on PBS on Sunday, April 11, 2010, Holocaust Remembrance Day.
PANELISTS
Ellie Kendrick's performance as Anne Frank was acclaimed by The Guardian ("She doesn't just play Anne Frank, she becomes Anne
Frank.") She made her feature film debut in An Education and is currently a student at Cambridge University in Cambridge, England.
Rebecca Eaton is celebrating her 25th year as executive producer of MASTERPIECE on PBS, the long-running, much-honored drama series.
Whoopi Goldberg is one of a select few artists who have won an Academy Award, Golden Globe, Emmy, Tony and Grammy, in addition to
countless other awards and honors for her work as a performer, producer, author and humanitarian. She has long been fascinated with
Anne Frank's story, and has been active for decades on the issue of genocide around the world.
Francine Prose marvels in The Diary of Anne Frank: The Book, The Life, The Afterlife that "one of the greatest books about the Nazi
genocide should have been written by a girl between the ages of thirteen and fifteen." Prose observes that Anne has rarely been
given her due as a writer and that her diary reminds us that teenage girls are an underestimated segment of society.

BRINGING SPIRITUAL VALUES TO HEALTH CARE REFORM
Should spiritual values infuse the larger public discussion on health care, or should spirituality and policy remain separate? In
the past 20 years, Jewish clergy have practiced spiritual care in aiding people struggling with mental and physical illness, grief
and death. Rabbi Jonah Pesner is the founding director of Just Congregations, part of the social justice arm of the Reform Judaism.
He was the chair of the Massachusetts coalition that secured health care for uninsured residents of that state. Rabbi Elliot Kukla
is a staff rabbi at the Bay Area Jewish Healing Center in San Francisco. Presented in cooperation with ZEEK: A Journal of Jewish
Thought and Culture.

Confessions of Noa Weber wins 2010 Best Translated Book Award
From: Culture - Consulate NY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Confessions of Noa Weber wins Translated Book Award
New York, March 11, 2010 - Melville House's The Confessions of Noa Weber by Gail Hareven, translated from the Hebrew by Dalya Bilu,
has won the 2010 Best Translated Book Award for Fiction. Organized by Three Percent at the University of Rochester, the Best
Translated Book Award is the only prize of its kind to honor the best original works of international literature and poetry
published in the U.S. over the past year. This year the awards ceremony was hosted by Manhattan independent bookstore Idlewild
Books.
"We're delighted to receive this award on behalf of the author, Gail Hareven," said co-publisher Dennis Loy Johnson, "as it
represents what we see as part of our mission at Melville House: Not just to publish both fiction and nonfiction in translation for
the sake of essentially preserving it, as if it were something on the verge of going extinct. That strikes us as a way of further
ensuring its obscurity. Rather, we see it as our mission to trumpet that work loudly, and to work aggressively to get that work in
the hands of as many people as possible, especially those who would not normally encounter translated literature."
The Confessions of Noa Weber is the story of a woman who leads a successful "feminist" life: she has a strong career, a wonderful
daughter she raised alone, and she is a recognized and respected author. Yet her interior life is bound by her obsessive love for
one man--Alek, a Russian émigré and the father of her child, who has drifted in and out of her life. Trying to understand-as well as
free herself from-this lifelong obsession, Noa turns her pen on herself, and with relentless honesty dissects her life. Against the
evocative setting of turbulent, modernday Israel, this examination becomes a quest to transform irrational desire into a greater,
transcendent understanding of love.
The fiction judges this year were Monica Carter (Skylight Books and Salonica), Scott Esposito (Conversational Reading and Center for
the Art of Translation), Susan Harris (Words Without Borders), translator Annie Janusch, Brandon Kennedy (Spoonbill & Sugartown
bookstore), Bill Marx (PRI's The World: World Books), Michael Orthofer (Complete Review), Chad W. Post (Open Letter and Three
Percent) and Jeff Waxman (Seminary Co-Op and The Front Table).
For more information about The Confessions of Noa Weber, visit Melville House Books online. For more about the prize, visit Three
Percent online.
