Who Will Remain? (film screening and talkback)

February 7 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Free

A documentary film from the Yiddish Book Center’s Wexler Oral History Project follows one woman’s journey to understand her grandfather.

In an attempt to better understand her grandfather (Yiddish poet Avrom Sutzkever), Israeli actress Hadas Kalderon travels to Lithuania and uses her grandfather’s diary to trace his life in Vilna and his survival of the Holocaust.

Woven into the documentary are family home videos, newly recorded interviews and archival recordings including Sutzkever’s testimony at the Nuremberg Trial. Recitation of Sutzkever’s poetry and personal reflections on resisting Nazi forces as a partisan fighter reveal how Sutzkever tried to make sense of the Holocaust and its aftermath.

This film is in Yiddish, Hebrew, Russian and English with English subtitles.

Free and open to the public.
