Andrew H. Card, Jr., was appointed chief of staff in the presidential administration of Texas Gov. George W. Bush. Card was chosen because of his impressive service record in the public and private sector, including serving in the administrations of two former presidents. Card's last day was April 14, 2006, making him the second-longest serving White House chief of staff. Card is expected to discuss global issues as they relate to America, particularly, terrorism, national security, genocide and human rights and will offer insight into how the executive branch of government is motivated to act and formulate policies on genocide and human rights issues.

After a glamorous fashion career that spanned six decades, Dallas Hill now lives and paints in a cedar-lined cabin in the Texas art community of New Ulm. In 2004, she turned her heart to portrait painting. Inspired by the story of Anne Frank, she captured the beauty and youth to memorialize the young woman in her new exhibit “The Holocaust: An Artist’s Glimpse of the Past,” on view Sept. 17, 2010 through Dec. 17, 2010 in the Museum’s Laurie and Milton Boniuk Resource Center and Library. The public is invited to a free preview reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 16. Admission is free. In addition to the Frank portrait, the exhibit also includes images of two of the men responsible for her death – Adolf Hitler and Adolf Eichmann. The black-and-white portraits of Hitler and Eichmann stand in stark contrast to the colorful portrait of Frank. Fashion acted as a thread that drew Hill to the life of Anne Frank. A photograph of Frank in a coat reminded Hill of a similar coat she wore as a girl. For more information, call 713-942-8000 or e-mail
