SUMMARY:Twin Cities Jewish Film Festival: Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire
DESCRIPTION:Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire\n\n\nWith his unforgettable and shattering 1958 memoir Night\, Elie Wiesel forever changed the way the Holocaust would be written about. A survivor of Auschwitz and Buchenwald as a teenager\, the Romanian-born Wiesel became an international spokesperson and renowned author\, eloquently transforming his trauma into literature of the highest and most profound order. In this enthralling new documentary\, filmmaker Oren Rudavsky goes deeper into Wiesel’s philosophically abundant inner life\, depicted with nuance and tenderness\, and enriched by access to his personal archives. In many ways a private man despite being one of the most public voices of Holocaust remembrance\, Wiesel is presented here in newly intimate ways known only to his closest friends. Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire stands as a crucial testament to an extraordinary man who helped shape our collective memory of the darkest chapter of the 20th century.\n\n\n\nPOST-SCREENING Q&A FEATURING \nKristin Thompson \nFounding Director of the Humanus Network \n  \n Co-sponsored with the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas.

SUMMARY:Book Club: Never Again Will I Visit Auschwitz with Ari Richter
DESCRIPTION:Program \nAri Richter will present his book in an opening talk\, with questions and discussion to follow. Even if you have not read his work\, you are invited to attend the opening talk\, ask questions\, and be part of the discussion. \n\nFinding the Book: \nDirectly From the Publisher \nAmazon\, both in print and for Kindle \nThe book can also be ordered through other bookstores. Copies can also now be checked out of many larger library systems \n\n\nAbout Never Again Will I Visit Auschwitz: A Graphic Family Memoir of Trauma & Inheritance \nIn this debut graphic memoir\, New York-based artist Ari Richter weaves together two haunting stories – his grand- and great-grandparents’ imprisonment in Dachau\, Buchenwald\, and Auschwitz\, and his own awakening to the contemporary rise of authoritarianism and the continuing crisis of anti-Semitism – with delicacy\, immediacy\, and an attention to surreal detail. \nNever Again Will I Visit Auschwitz is an act of self-discovery and the resuscitation of historical memory. At its heart is the intersection of a genocidal political moment in 20th century history and the author’s own family history. Told from the perspectives of four generations of the author’s family\, spanning pre-war Germany to post-Trump America\, it is both a celebration of Jewish cultural resilience and a warning of democracy’s fragility in the face of the seductive forces of authoritarianism. Part travelogue\, part memoir\, part historic retelling\, author Ari Richter recreates his family’s journey leading up to and extending beyond the Holocaust. \nRelying on extensive genealogical research and his family’s archiving\, Richter illustrates the lives of his grandparents while reflecting on the burden of a storyteller to carry on these legacies. It is a rare glimpse into the firsthand stories of both Holocaust survivors and their descendants\, told as an intertwined tapestry of faith\, grief\, and ultimately\, survival. Never Again Will I Visit Auschwitz is an intimate reflection on coming to grips with the past. Harrowing and humorous in equal measure\, this evocatively drawn graphic novel will be discussed for generations to come. \n\nAri Richter is a New York-based visual artist and comics creator\, born in Tampa\, FL in 1983. He received a fully public education from grade school to grad school\, and is currently a Professor of Fine Arts at LaGuardia Community College in The City University of New York. Hi debut book\, Never Again Will I Visit Auschwitz: A Graphic Family Memoir of Trauma & Inheritance is out now from Fantagraphics Books. \nRichter has received fellowships from the Mellon Foundation/American Council of Learned Societies\, and the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture\, multiple project grants from the CUNY Research Foundation\, and residencies from the Vermont Studio Center\, the Woodward Residency and the University of Texas at Dallas. His drawings\, sculptures\, videos and performances have been presented at The Skirball Cultural Center\, The National Museum of American Jewish History\, The Tampa Museum of Art\, The Spartanburg Art Museum\, The Weatherspoon Art Museum\, The Bruce High Quality Foundation University\, Flux Factory\, CentralTrak\, Athens Institute for Contemporary Art\, Nexus Foundation for Today’s Art\, and Celebrate Brooklyn! festival. His graphic work has been featured in Hyperallergic and Tablet Magazine. \n  \n\n\nJCRC is pleased to co-sponsor this program / book club in conjunction with Leo Baeck Institute. Ari Richter’s grandfather\, one of the characters in his graphic novel\, served as rabbi in Sioux Falls\, SD\, upon fleeing Europe.

SUMMARY:Special Kristallnacht Commemoration – An Evening with Nick Winton
DESCRIPTION:Kristallnacht\, the Night of Broken Glass\, brought terror to Germany and Jews worldwide on Nov. 9\, 1938 as synagogues were torched\, Jewish homes and schools were vandalized\, and tens of thousands were rounded up and sent to concentration camps. \nWe welcome you to join a special Kristallnacht commemoration at Beth El Synagogue\, featuring Nick Winton. Nick will travel from England to share the story of his father\, Sir Nicholas George Winton\, a British humanitarian credited with organizing a Kindertransport of 669 mostly Jewish children from Czechoslovakia on the eve of World War II. \nWhat made 29-year-old Nicholas give up his skiing holiday to rescue these children from the Nazis and how did he do it? Winton’s son Nick will tell his father’s inspiring story about the life-changing events that transformed the destiny of so many. \nThis event is free to attend\, but registration is required. \nSpecial Kristallnacht Commemoration with Nick Winton\nWednesday\, Nov. 9 / 7:00 PM / Beth El Synagogue\n\nSOLD OUT – ATTEND VIA LIVESTREAM\n\nNick will also speak in Williston\, North Dakota\, Nov. 6-7 to high school students\, teachers\, and community members.\n  \n \nNick Winton grew up learning about ethics\, values\, and the importance of making a contribution to the community in which you live.  Over many conversations during his childhood\, Nick was encouraged to hear the facts and to then make up his own mind rather than being (mis)guided by the opinion of others.  Nick himself has wide experience of the roller-coaster of life and speaks with candor about his father\, living with tragedy and the importance of keeping focused on what is important in life. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n\n  \n \nThis event is co-sponsored by The Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota & the Dakotas and Beth El Synagogue.  We are proud to have Nick Winton speak to our community in association with last year’s Kindertransport exhibit.
