What will become of Holocaust memories after the survivor generation has vanished? That’s the question tackled in “Memory After Belsen,” a feature-length documentary that explores the lives and memories of children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of Holocaust survivors.
Temple Sinai welcomes Joshua Greene, the film’s producer, to lead a post-film discussion on Thursday May 5 at 7:30 p.m. Executive Producer, Professor Henri Lustiger Thaler, will also be in attendance to answer questions.
“Memory After Belsen” tells the story of the Bergen Belsen Displaced Person’s Camp, where 2,000 babies were born between 1945 and 1950, and where hope emerged for future Jewish generations. He views these children and their descendants as the “stewards of Holocaust remembrance”.
Along with partner Shiva Kumar, Greene founded a media company named Stories to Remember to explore important social issues. Stories to Remember programs have aired on the Discovery channel, BBC and Cablevision. In the late 1990s, the company began producing films on Holocaust history.
Temple Sinai invites the community to this important screening.
Refreshments will be served. Suggested non-congregant contribution: $10
