Episode 283: Humanity in the Arts (Part 1)
Hosted by Ranelle Wolf with Guest Gertrude Borchardt on hmTv

In this illuminating episode of Humanity in the Arts, host Ranelle Wolf welcomes art historian and curator Gertrude Borchardt for a conversation recorded at the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center. Together, they explore the powerful story behind Salvador Dalí’s rarely seen series Aliyah: The Rebirth of Israel — a moving collection that captures themes of displacement, homecoming, and faith.

Borchardt shares the behind-the-scenes journey of curating the exhibition with Dr. Charlie Riley, the research that uncovered Dalí’s biblical sequence, and the fascinating history of how the collection came to life. The discussion expands into the deeper question of how art can preserve moral and spiritual values, inspire critical thought, and restore unity in an age of division.

A profound dialogue on art, faith, and humanity — reminding us that curation itself can be an act of conscience.

🎙️ Recorded at the Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County.
📍 Part 1 of a two-part conversation.
