SUMMARY:AHEC Holocaust in Film Series: Everything is Illuminated
DESCRIPTION:The AHEC invites you to join us for the final screening of our 13th annual Holocaust in Film Series: Rescue\, Escape\, and Liberation\, sponsored by the Perlman Donor Advised Fund. On March 31 at Sidewalk Film Center & Cinema\, we will screen the emotional and thought-provoking film “Everything is Illuminated.” The film follows Jonathan\, whose grandfather was a Holocaust survivor\, as he struggles to uncover his family’s history and learn the lessons this history has to teach him.  \nAs Jonathan’s journey unfolds\, the story asks what escape or liberation truly means to those who survived the Holocaust yet remain haunted by memories of their trauma and immense losses. Following the screening\, Michele Forman—a second-generation Survivor\, award-winning documentarian\, and UAB media studies professor—will lead a discussion about the film to deepen audience understanding of the struggles survivors and the descendants of survivors continue to face\, as well as how we can work together to build a better and brighter future.  \nTickets are $10 per person. Purchase your tickets today!
