LEARN ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST THROUGH A SURVIVOR AND A FILM

Because I used to teach the Literature of Holocaust and Genocide to high school seniors, I am especially interested in artistic representations of such terrible events.

LUNCH & LEARN WITH A HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR

WHEN: TUESDAY, JUNE 11, NOON
WHERE: 901 Route 10, Whippany, NJ.

Joe Mandrowitz, Holocaust survivor, was born in Czemierniki, Poland, in 1923. He survived three years in concentration camps due to the skilled tailoring he did for Nazi officers. Join us to hear about his experiences.  Please bring a dairy lunch. Dessert and beverages will be served.  

REAL TO REEL FILM PRESENTATION:
Never Forget to Lie

WHEN: THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 7:00 PM
WHERE: 901 Route 10, Whippany, NJ.

Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Marian Marzynski was born in Poland and survived the Holocaust as a Jewish child hidden by Christians. In Never Forget to Lie, the most recent of Marzynski's critically-lauded autobiographical films, the director explores his own wartime childhood and the experiences of other child survivors, teasing out their feelings about Poland, the Catholic Church, and the ramifications of identities forged under circumstances where survival began with the directive "never forget to lie."  (2012, 53 minutes)

Light refreshments will be served.
