The Holocaust Genocide Studies Project invites you to attend a film presentation of "Hiding and Seeking: Faith and Tolerance After the Holocaust" on Wednesday, March 8 at 6 pm in the R. Thomas Flynn Campus Center Forum (3-130). The presentation is free and open to the public.
The film focuses on an Orthodox Jewish father's attempts to alert his adult sons to the dangers of creating impenetrable barriers between themselves and those outside their faith. He takes them on an emotional journey to Poland to track down the family who risked their lives to hide their grandfather for more than two years during World War II. The film was first broadcast by PBS and uncovers unsettling generational, social and philosophical rifts in contemporary Jewish life. Professor Charles Clarke, director of the Holocaust Genocide Studies Project, will lead a discussion after the film.
"Hiding and Seeking" is the second in a trilogy of films about the Jewish world by Menachem Daum and Oren Rudavsky, who collaborated on the Emmy nominated "A Life Apart: Hasidism in America."
