In honour of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, join the Museum and the Atlantic Jewish Council for a special film screening of the documentary film HERE LIVED by Jane Wells.
What to expect:
- A film screening of the documentary HERE LIVED.
- A coffee and tea reception following the screening.
About the film:
HERE LIVED is the moving story of hidden children, murdered parents, and the stones that bring healing. The film explores artist Gunter Demnig's Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) project—the world’s largest decentralized memorial. These small, hand-stamped brass plates are laid into the pavement in front of the last voluntarily chosen residences of those murdered by the Nazis. Watch the trailer.
About the Filmmaker and Project:
Jane Wells is an award-winning filmmaker (A System of Justice, Native Silence) whose vision for the film was to let each individual stone tell a story. Using drone cinematography and intimate storytelling, she illustrates how these small memorials illuminate the Holocaust through a deeply personal lens.
Gunter Demnig is a German conceptual artist who, since 1992, has hand-stamped and laid over 100,000 stones across 30 countries to commemorate victims of National Socialism, including Jewish people, Roma, Sinti, and the disabled.
The Stolpersteine Project is a global memorial effort that "brings home" the names of victims, ensuring that the everyday reach of the Nazi dragnet is never forgotten.
