We Are Here: A Lithuanian Encounter
Sunday, February 3, 2013, at 11 AM at the Holocaust Memorial Center

Ellen Cassedy set off into the Jewish heartland of Lithuania to study Yiddish and connect with her Jewish forebears. But on the brink of her trip, her uncle revealed something she’d never suspected, and what had begun as a personal quest expanded into a larger exploration. Probing the terrain of memory and moral dilemmas, Ms. Cassedy shares the fascinating story of how a genealogical journey to the Old World changed her view of the past, changed her view of the future, and changed her. She takes us to the archives and kitchen tables where her family history revealed its confounding secrets, to the Vilnius Yiddish Institute, to complex commemorative sites, and to encounters with the leaders of Jewish education efforts in Lithuania today, giving us an close-up view of how a post-Holocaust nation explores its own “Jewish family history.” Jewish Book World calls her book “brilliantly balanced, totally engaging, and constantly penetrating.”

Movie – 100 Voices: A Journey Home
100 Voices: A Journey Home is a compelling and moving musical documentary that uniquely tells the history of Jewish culture in Poland. It highlights the current resurgence of Jewish culture through the personal reflections and musical selections of a group of cantors and acclaimed composer Charles Fox (“Killing Me Softly”, “I Got A Name” and many more) who made an important historical mission to the birthplace of Cantorial music. The documentary will give generations the opportunity to learn about and re-embrace the Jewish culture that produced one of the most artistic and educated societies that once flourished in Europe. Above all, the film celebrates the resilience and the power of Jewish life, while telling the story of two peoples who shared intertwined cultures
