EnRICHment: Oral History Workshop with Marta Martinez

People who have “made history” often say that they were not thinking of making history, but were just going through daily life. Sheldon Horowitz, the main character of Norwegian by Night, falls into this category. But, as we learn, Sheldon, a Korean War sniper, watchmaker, husband, father, and New Yorker is as unique as his experiences. As he ages, Sheldon encourages the preservation and understanding of his character by telling stories. In her discussion, Marta V. Martínez will offer a hands-on workshop on how to listen and collect community and family oral histories. Learning useful interviewing techniques, the best recording equipment to use and how to make the information you gather useful, attendees will discover how to cherish and preserve memories of family members who have experienced -and made- history.
