The Claims Conference, in partnership with the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, has announced its first-ever global film series in commemoration of Holocaust Remembrance Day. All films were supported by the Claims Conference and include documentary, narrative, and animated films, both short and feature-length. The film series will be hosted from April 13 through April 20, with free screenings in Germany and the U.S., including events in each of the five boroughs of New York City. Global screenings will include films that encompass profiles of strength, courage, and the resilience found during and after World War II. The theme for this inaugural global film series, “Strength of Courage,” reflects the indomitable spirit of individuals whose resilience shone through in humanity’s darkest times. Participating speakers globally include the directors of the films, well-known Holocaust historians and Holocaust survivors, such as: Prof. Reinhold Boschki, who had a personal relationship with Elie Wiesel; historian, author and film producer Michael Berenbaum; film historian, author and interviewer and host of Reel Pieces, Annette Insdorf; professor Roger Berkowitz, founder and Academic Director of the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities; and many more. Holocaust survivors include: Alice Ginsburg, Halina Birenbaum, Gabriella Major, Eva Szepsi, and Assia Gorban, among others.
