The screening of “The Assembly: A New Musical Film” at 21.st Warsaw Jewish Film Festival

Special Screening of "The Assembly: A New Musical Film", directed by Hershey Felder, PL/USA 2023, 98 MIN, documentary. The Assembly, a film written and directed by Hershey Felder, shot in Poland, was inspired by the work of Holocaust survivor Eva Libitzky, who lost her entire family in the Holocaust of World War II. Over the last 40 years of her life, Libitzky has made it her mission to tell her harrowing life story in hundreds of school assemblies so that young people in America will never forget what happened in Europe 80 years ago. Libitzky, 97, died in 2021 at her home in Florida, but this new documentary featuring eight former students at the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts (SDSCPA) will continue her legacy. Eight different students from San Diego's famous School of Creative and Performing Arts travel through time with their mentors to war-torn Europe. As young artists find history, we find them and thus discover their stories of resilience, identity and music.
