Great program at Maltz Museum
Milt and Tamar Maltz and the Maltz Museum gave us the opportunity May 31 to attend the multitalented Elaine Rembrandt’s portrayal of three female Jewish spies.
In this new addition to her extensive and excellent repertoire, Ms. Rembrandt gave us the background of each of these incredibly brave women and recounted her search for their stories and her personal interactions with them.
She then went into character and became each of them, telling their stories in the first person with the drama and the pathos intrinsic to someone’s choice to become an espionage agent despite the personal danger and emotional chaos which are sure to follow.
Our experience was greatly enhanced by the person who introduced Ms. Rembrandt. Peter Earnest, a retired senior CIA official, is the executive director of the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C. He is also a professor at the Centre for Counterintelligence and Security Studies and chair of the Association For Intelligence Officers. Mr. Earnest made the point that every spy recruitment and every espionage agent is a story in itself. American spies, because they are Americans, are more concerned with civil liberties than are most others in the espionage world. Each of us brings our own background and ethics to our profession, and spies are no different.
In presenting this program, the Maltz Museum and Ms. Rembrandt have provided a great service to our community.
