Who Will Write Our History : Tuesday, April 23

Showing @ 7:30pm

USA, documentary, 95 min., unrated

During World War II, a clandestine group of Jewish journalists, scholars, and community leaders in the Warsaw Ghetto vowed to defeat Nazi lies and propaganda not with weapons but with pen and paper. Led by historian Emanuel Ringelblum, they chronicled their daily lives as a testament of survival, then as an indictment of wartime atrocities. “Using newsreels, voice-overs and re-enactments the documentary paints a comprehensive portrait of the times and of the risks taken by Ringelblum and his group. The staged scenes are well acted, while readings from diaries and letters are heartbreaking.” – New York Times
