Book by Alfredo Ratniewski Theatrical Adaptation by Todd Salovey Featuring: Marco Barricelli as Alfredo Rosina Reynolds as Zofia Kate Rose Reynolds as Izabella A dramatic play reading reveals the story of a family who risked everything to save a Jewish man during the Holocaust in war-torn Poland, and their descendants who, 80 years later, reached out to his son to ensure that history was never forgotten. Alfredo Ratniewski knew his father as a man of carefully chosen silences. A respected doctor in Mexico City, Bolek carried the weight of a past he refused to speak about, leaving his son with more questions than answers. But when a mysterious email arrives from Poland eighty years after the war, a door to the past swings wide open, revealing a breathtaking journey of survival, courage, and a secret hidden behind a single oil painting. The program is a 50-minute play reading, followed by a special Q and A with the memoire’s author Alfredo Ratniewski and Izabella Cooper, daughter of the woman from Poland whose family hid and helped save the author’s father.

"The Scientific Art of Historic Preservation" explores the hidden processes behind saving historic places. Through material analysis, architectural investigation, conservation techniques, and stories from preservation specialists, the exhibition reveals how historic buildings act as physical archives of craftsmanship, trade, design, and community life. Using Wisteria Cottage alongside regional and national examples, the exhibition invites visitors to see preservation not simply as restoration, but as discovery: peeling back layers of paint, wood, plaster, and history to better understand the people and ideas that shaped the built environment.
