[ha-Safran]: Joseph H. Hirshhorn - New Biography
Just published, "Little Man in a Big Hurry: The Life of Joseph H.Hirshhorn, Uranium King and Art Collector" is the remarkable story of Hirshhorn, who donated the largest private art collection ever accumulated to the people of the United States. His sculpture and art collection is now housed on the Mall in Washington, D.C. in a Smithsonian Museum which bears his name: The Joseph H. Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. Written by his daughter Gene Hirshhorn LePere, it is a rags-to-riches story of an immigrant Jewish boy who arrived in the United States from Latvia in 1907 and through oversized ambition, energy and determination accumulated a multi-million-dollar collection of contemporary art. The hardbound book is published by Vantage Press, Inc., 419 Park Ave. South, New York, NY 10016. They can be contacted at 1-800-882-3273. Vantage retails at $26.95, or from Amazon.com at $17.79.

[ha-Safran]: Birthday of Fanny Goldstein, May 15
Thought this would interest the AJL community: Here's the beginning: Born on May 15, 1895 [some sources say 1888], Fanny Goldstein devoted her life to books and community. She was the first female Judaica librarian and the first woman to direct a branch library in Massachusetts, where she was head of Boston's West End Branch for many years. A prominent figure in the Boston Jewish community, she is best known as the founder of Jewish Book Week, which began when Goldstein organized a display of Jewish books at the Boston Public Library in 1925. If you'd like to read more: http://jwa.org/thisweek/may/15/1895/fanny-goldstein Thanks to the Jewish Women's Archives (www.jwa.org ) for providing this, and other wonderful information about Jewish women!
