The third day of the Strength of Courage Film Series was hosted by Manhattan University’s Holocaust, Genocide and Interfaith Education Center, featuring a screening of Art Spiegelman: Disaster is My Muse (dir: Molly Bernstein, Philip Dolin; prod: Alicia Sams, Sam Jinishian).
The evening opened with a special introduction by Holocaust survivor Dr. Liane Deligdisch Schor, followed by the film screening and a panel discussion with co-director Philip Dolin, Professor Dr. Jennifer Rich, and Professor Catherine Winters Michaud, Ph.D., moderated by New York Times Editorial Director of Newsletters Jodi Rudoren. The conversation explored the intersections of memory, trauma, and artistic expression, reflecting on Spiegelman’s work and its broader cultural and historical context.
Thank you to our partners and participants for a thoughtful and well-attended program.
The next screening will be hosted by Wagner College in Staten Island on Sunday, April 19, for the screening of Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire (dir/prod: Oren Rudavsky, prod: Tal Mandil, Michael Chomet).
