Small was born in Palo Alto, CA. His Mother, Elizabeth Aujero Small was born in Dueñas, Iloilo, Philippines, and was the first in her family to emigrate to the United States. His father, attorney Jack C. Small, was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma. They met in 1946 in Manila, Philippines, where his mother worked at a restaurant that his father built and operated, called the California Drive-In.

He grew up in the San Francisco bay area, while spending summers in Iloilo, Philippines with his mother, brothers, and extended family. His mother was the first in her family to emigrate to the United States. He graduated from an alternative school, Ravenswood High School in East Palo Alto, CA, was captain of a state championship club soccer team, and competed nationally in the Decathlon.

He studied comparative literature and music at Yale University, graduating in 1982. He sang with the Yale Russian Chorus and toured the former USSR with them in 1977, then spending a gap year in Italy. He was awarded a French National Fellowship for graduate study in literature and at the University of Paris.

Early in his career, he worked in film and television. He produced the science fiction film Venus Rising in 1995, and subsequently four documentaries that aired in the America’s Castles series on the A&E Network. He later worked as a consultant and writer in architecture and urban planning, and worked on developments including Baku White City in Azerbaijan, the Mall of the Emirates in Dubai, and the modern facilities in Zhouzhuang, China, known as the Venice of the East.

In 2005, he was awarded a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship at the Columbia University School of Journalism [x]. From 2005 to 2010 he wrote classical music criticism for Concertonet, an online classical music journal based in Paris, France.

Election Out of a field of seven candidates, Small was elected to one of two open seats on the Culver City Council in 2016. Leading up to the election, nearly 40 influential architects, designers and engineers from Culver City and across the Los Angeles region announced their support of Small’s candidacy [21].

Tenure on Culver City Council

During his first two years in office, he initiated and led the Transit Oriented District Visioning process and plan [22]. As part of the 2016 Culver City Strategic Plan, he leads the Ballona Creek Revitalization Task Force [23].

He currently serves as Chair of the Sustainability Council of the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority (METRO). He represents the West Side Council of Governments on the Transportation Committee of the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). He serves on several Culver City Council Subcommittees, including: Economic Development; Mobility, Traffic and Parking; Financial Planning and Budget.

Mayor of Culver City Small was elected Mayor of the City of Culver unanimously by his colleagues on the City Council City on April 30, 2018 [x].

Mayor Small’s work with the city focused on excellence in urban planning, sustainable design and mobility, and public outreach. He led the effort to win grants from the Mayor’s Innovation Project, the Harvard Behavioral Insight Group, and the National Institute for Civil Discourse, for programs to enhance public outreach for neighborhood planning and alternative modes of transportation. [x].

During Small’s tenure as Mayor, Amazon and Apple broke ground on new studios based in Culver City. HBO is also building new headquarters adjacent to Culver City, and between these three multinational companies, Culver City is expecting up to 10,000 new employees over the next few years. [x]. [x].

Under Mayor Small’s leadership, the City of Culver City was selected by the University of Arizona’s National Institute for Civil Discourse (NICD) as one of five “deep dive” cities nationally to participate in its “Revive Civility Cities” program. Revive Civility Cities is a nonpartisan program where the NICD works with and encourages communities to restore values of civility and respect for each other. NICD worked with Culver City during 2018 and 2019 to help bring the City civil discourse strategies around the issue of growth and development in the Fox Hills neighborhood. [x].

He served on the General Plan Update Subcommittee, and was instrumental in the composition of the Request for Proposals and the selection of the General Plan consultant team. [x].

Righteous Conversations http://www.rememberusprojects.org/

On October 1, 2013 Remember Us and the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust merged and Samara Hutman became Executive Director of the Museum. Each day, we have witnessed the ways in which the Museum opens its doors to remembrance and education for students and visitors, both local and from far and wide. We invite the Remember Us community to visit us in person or virtually at the Museum and thank you for supporting us in our shared work together. We share with you words from Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel that have inspired us in this work.

http://www.lamoth.org/education--resources/lamoth-education-programs/righteous-conversations-projec/ The Righteous Conversations Project at LAMOTH facilitates dialogue, social action and collaborative creative work connecting students with Holocaust Survivors. In workshops and engagements developed in collaboration with schools and community organizations, the Righteous Conversations Project provides students with opportunities to carry on the work of Holocaust remembrance and to speak up about injustice in the world around them through film and new media.

Through the Righteous Conversations Project, students have created Public Service Announcements and short films that have been screened and recognized in over 20 film festivals across the United States and internationally in the past year, many winning awards in their categories, and have been used in media campaigns for a diverse group of nonprofit organizations.

For a gallery of Righteous Conversations Project Public Service Announcements and short films, visit www.righteousconversations.org.

Originally launched in 2011, the Righteous Conversations Project became a LAMOTH program with the merger of Remember Us and the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust in 2013.

The Righteous Conversations Project is supported by grants from the Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles, the Righteous Persons Foundation, The Erwin Rautenberg Foundation, The Michael & Irene Ross Endowment Fund of the Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles, and other generous contributors. We welcome foundations and individual supporters to join us in continuing these acts of remembrance and social action.

The Righteous Conversations Project is honored to have been selected for the 10th annual Slingshot Guide for 2015, and is thrilled and proud to be recognized alongside the hundreds of innovative Jewish organizations named in the Guide over the years.

For more information, email Rachel Fidler, Righteous Conversations Programs Manager, at Rachel@lamoth.org.

Description

A collaboration of Holocaust survivors and young people coming together for creative work and social action.

Why It's In Slingshot

By connecting teenagers and Holocaust survivors, the Righteous Conversations Project (RCP) changes ideas of how to engage in Holocaust awareness and remembrance efforts. Participating teens commit to carrying on the voices and stories of aging Holocaust survivors by sharing survivors’ narratives with a new generation of Jews. RCP partners with schools and other community organizations to enable teens to create video projects that help participants connect with a story from the past and carry it into the future. RCP’s ground-breaking work compels teenagers to care about narratives of the Holocaust and to also face contemporary injustice. Together with partnering organizations, RCP pairs teenagers with Holocaust survivors in thoughtful conversations that engage with the past and confront the present. Some programs facilitate small-group conversations, while others feature community service projects, challah baking, or art projects as forums for dialogue and relationship building. Teens then create public service announcements that connect the stories of the Holocaust with contemporary issues of injustice. Several national nonprofits disseminate these PSAs through their own advocacy work. In addition, RCP’s Tell and Retell program allows survivors and their grandchildren to partner in carrying on their family stories. Through these programs, RCP influences a young generation of Jews to passionately carry on the legacy of survivors, bearing witness and sharing the survivors’ life stories with local communities.

Ways To Get Involved

1. Discover our collaborative new media projects at www.righteousconversations.org

2. Share your favorite PSAs with your social media community

3. Connect us to organizations and causes you care about so we may help share their stories through compelling social media content.

_______________________________________________

Samara Hutman , Executive Director. Samara Hutman has recently taken on the role of Executive Director of Remember Us. Hutman has steered the organization on a path of expansion and outreach, building the foundation for partnerships with educational and artistic institutions throughout the city.

Hutman first joined Remember Us as a volunteer in 2007 after her daughter, Rebecca, participated in The Holocaust Bnai Mitzvah Project. “Our family was deeply moved by the experience,” said Hutman, who served Remember Us as board president for three years. “It was a simple yet powerful act of remembrance for a child we never knew but whose memory became a part of our family story. And in the name of Victoria Farhi and her family, we were moved to act for good and righteousness. To quote Rabbi Irving ‘Yitz’ Greenberg, ‘It is thus that we turn cruelty and oppression into a source of energy... we show that love and memory can overcome hatred and evil, amnesia and apathy’.”

Hutman is a graduate of Barnard College, Columbia University, and studied at New York University’s film program.

Samara studied film at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and holds a B.A. in Art History from Barnard College. Samara was introduced to Remember Us at the time of her daughter's Bat Mitzvah, when Rebecca remembered Victoria Farhi who was born in Paris and died at Auschwitz Concentration Camp in 1944 when she was 13 years old.

• Samara SCHAFFER Hutman '76, Executive Director of Museum

Posted 03/28/2014 11:02AM http://www.rcds.org/page.cfm?p=1306&newsid=206

Several months ago, The Rumson Country Day School’s alumni office received a press release from the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust (LAMOTH), announcing that Samara Hutman had been hired as the Museum’s new executive director. A check of our records revealed that Ms. Hutman was Samara SCHAFFER ’76, an alumna who had attended RCDS for just one year - in fourth grade! Curious about her continued interest in our school, we asked her to share her memories and describe her journey from RCDS to LAMOTH.

“The school is still profound in my memory,” she told us. “My mother sent me to Rumson Country Day because I was having difficulty at another school; their program was rather rigid, while I had very different, more creative talents. I have really salient memories of Rumson. The community and its physical location were inspiring and I was overwhelmed by its beauty. You learn by what you see and Rumson was a visual inspiration, full of promise, dignity, and grace. I vividly remember the dining room… its leaded glass windows… steaming bowls of peas and mashed potatoes. The school’s sense of tradition, of sophistication… I can still feel these in my blood.”

“I remember everyone being very kind, always feeling included, and being treated with dignity by my teachers. When Mrs. McTiernan cast me as Lucy in our class play, Charlie Brown, I was so proud! I have very sweet and particular memories of RCDS being a place that inspired me to see what is possible in the world. I wish everyone could have this kind of experience.”

Samara’s family moved the following year, but she retained her interest in theatre, and when she entered college in 1980, it seemed natural to study film at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Two years later, she transferred to Barnard/Columbia to study art history. “After graduation, I remained in New York, working in film production. I worked hard and moved up in the industry, eventually becoming a freelance motion picture set decorator, designing the sets of more than twenty-five films and television movies for directors like Robert Redford, Jodie Foster, and Lee Grant. Even after my daughter was born, I was able to continue my design work, opening my own residential interior design business and decorating the homes of the actors and film people I had worked with.”

“In 2007, however, when my daughter was a Bat Mitzvah student, my life took a new direction. She participated in a project run by ‘Remember Us,’ a non-profit organization devoted to ensuring Holocaust memory by creating opportunities for individuals to make personal connections to those who survived or were lost in the Holocaust. She ‘remembered’ Victoria Farhi who was born in Paris and died at age 13 in Auschwitz. Our family was deeply moved by the experience. It was a simple, yet powerful act of remembrance for a child we never knew but whose memory became a part of our family story. I soon joined Remember Us as a volunteer. The following year I was elected Board President and three years later, in 2011, I was named Executive Director.”

“That same year, my daughter and I along with three other mothers and daughters co-founded the ‘Righteous Conversions Project’ at Remember Us, bringing teens and Holocaust survivors together to speak out against injustice and inhumanity in today’s world. Tapping into LA’s rich film and arts communities, we organized public meetings, held workshops, and created public service videos that addressed subjects like genocide prevention, respect for families with gay parents, bullying, and religious intolerance.” “My new position at the Museum seems a natural fit,” she concluded, “essentially merging the Holocaust survivor activities at Remember Us with LAMOTH, this nation’s oldest survivor-founded Holocaust museum. I enjoy my work beyond words. Today’s young people, thankfully, know safety and security. They gain so much from perspective when they learn about those complex and traumatic times, especially from survivors who were children themselves during the Holocaust. And if we have the opportunity to introduce them to individuals who were strong enough to say ‘no’ and saved others? That is one of life’s most compelling lessons! Young people are so empowered by this interaction, coming to understand that their own efforts can actually prevent this kind of tragedy from happening in their own communities and even to raise their voices on behalf of communities around the world.”

PRESS RELEASE: Samara Hutman leads Remember Us

Samara Hutman has been appointed executive director of Remember Us, a non-profit organization devoted to ensuring Holocaust memory by creating opportunities for individuals to make personal connections to those who survived or were lost in the Holocaust. She succeeds Gesher Calmenson, the organization’s founder.

Remember Us, which serves the international community, also moved its operations base this summer from Santa Rosa, California, to Los Angeles.

Hutman joined Remember Us as a volunteer in 2007 after her daughter, Rebecca, participated in the Holocaust B’nai Mitzvah Project for Bar/Bat Mitzvah students. More than 2,200 children in 61 Los Angeles-area synagogues have participated during the past six years. Each child accepts the invitation to remember one child who was lost in the Holocaust. To date over 16,000 children have participated, at 653 congregations internationally.

“Our family was deeply moved by the experience,” said Hutman, who served Remember Us as board president for three years. “It was a simple yet powerful act of remembrance for a child we never knew but whose memory became a part of our family story. And in the name of Victoria Farhi and her family, we were moved to act for good and righteousness. To quote Rabbi Irving ‘Yitz’ Greenberg, ‘It is thus that we turn cruelty and oppression into a source of energy…we show that love and memory can overcome hatred and evil, amnesia and apathy’”.

Hutman helped launch a new program for teens this year. “The Righteous Conversations Project,” connects teens and Holocaust survivors through public meetings, workshops and the production of public service videos addressing contemporary issues. The Public Service Announcements and a mini-documentary will be released this fall.

A graduate of Barnard College, Columbia University, and a student of New York University’s film program, Hutman has tapped artists and filmmakers in Los Angeles’ rich arts community to collaborate on The Righteous Conversations Project.

   The Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust opened its new facility in Pan Pacific Park in 2010.

The Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust opened its new facility in Pan Pacific… (Anne Cusack / Los Angeles…)

The Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust said on Monday that it has named Samara Hutman as its new executive director. Hutman -- who comes from Remember Us, a Holocaust education organization -- will report to museum President E. Randol Schoenberg.

Hutman served as executive director of Remember Us since 2011. Remember Us works with middle and high schools to promote Holocaust awareness. She will officially begin her new job at the L.A. Museum of the Holocaust on Tuesday.

CRITICS' PICKS: What to watch, where to go, what to eat

At the museum, Hutman will take on the executive director role that Schoenberg had filled on a temporary basis. Mark Rothman previously served as the organization's executive director before stepping down this year.

The museum opened its new facility in Pan Pacific Park in 2010. The complex, which had an estimated price tag of $20 million, was designed by architect Hagy Belzberg and his Santa Monica firm, Belzberg Architects.
