Grünbaum was arrested and sent to Dachau in 1938. He once quipped from a darkened stage, “I can’t see a thing, not a single thing I must have stumbled into national socialist culture.” The son of a Jewish art dealer in what was then Moravia, Grünbaum studied law but began performing in cabarets in Vienna in 1906.Ī well-known performer in Vienna and Berlin by the time Adolf Hitler rose to power, Grünbaum challenged the Nazi authorities in his work. Manhattan prosecutors believe they have jurisdiction in all of the cases because the artworks were bought and sold by Manhattan art dealers at some point.

They believe the entertainer was forced to cede ownership of his artworks under duress. The three works, and others from the collection, which Grünbaum began assembling in the 1920s, are already the subject of civil litigation on behalf of his heirs. Warrants issued by the office of the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, say there is reasonable cause to believe the three artworks are stolen property. “It’s good for every neighbourhood,” he said.Ĭommunity Living Guelph Wellington and People4People do have plans on opening more, but the locations are yet to be determined.The art was seized on Wednesday from the Art Institute of Chicago, the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh and the Allen Memorial Art Museum at Oberlin College in Ohio. Petrie said he’d like to see more pop up throughout the city. “The second day the box was there it had books in it from the neighbours.” “The beautiful part about it is that I didn't put a book in there,” he said. He made the space even more accessible by laying down bricks where the boulevard would be so people with wheelchairs and mobility devices can move around more easily. When he heard they were looking for a place to build an accessible library, it just made sense for it to be on his property, he said. Petrie owns the group home there, which he built for his son. They spent about a year looking for a location before landing on Terry Petrie’s property. The project will continue to grow and evolve and become more accessible as we learn from each other,” Noonan said. “From there it grew into an accessible little library created around the Guelph community. The idea of creating a little library was brought forward, and they decided to combine the two ideas. “Guelph Wellington Community Living brought in People Minded Business to help parents, people supported, and staff brainstorm solutions that would create more connections to our communities, and keep the connections we had before.”įirst, they thought about building a ‘buddy bench’ for people to sit and chat – but not everyone can sit on a bench, so it wouldn’t be inclusive. “During COVID, we felt like we lost our community,” said Judy Noonan, a member of People4People. There are also books written by people with disabilities, sensory books, books on tape, and books with Braille basically, there's something for everyone of all abilities.īeside the library is a ‘buddy bench,’ where community members are encouraged to sit and read or chat and make new friends. “The books are a range of children’s books, books with pictures, books about people with disabilities, books featuring people with disabilities but not about their disability, books for adults,” said Karen Calzonetti of Community Living Guelph Wellington.
That’s not the only way it’s accessible, though. There is also a tether attached to the doorknob so those with less mobility in their hands can easily open the door. It’s low to the ground making it easier for people with wheelchairs, walkers or mobility aids to reach. Now, a new one has launched with accessibility, inclusion and community in mind.Ī new Accessible Little Library (ALL) opened Monday morning outside the group home on 197 Dufferin St., launched by People4People, a self-advocacy group for adults with developmental disabilities, and Community Living Guelph Wellington, a non-profit that supports adults with developmental disabilities living in the area.
