Community Yom
HaShoah
Commemoration
Program:
Wednesday, April 30
Yom HaShoah will be com
memorated this year with the
screening of the Emmy-nomi
nated documentary film
Finding Family, followed by a
lecture by the film’s producer.
Dr. Racelle Weiman.
Finding Family is the story of
seven-year-old Henry (Heinzi)
Blumenstein who was forced to
hide among strangers during
the most ruthless and cruel
regimes known to history.
Hidden by a poor Catholic
Dutch family, Henry finds good
in a world seemingly filled with
evil. Many years later, Henry
returns to Holland to find the
family that saved his life. This
film is about quiet heroism and
about the continuous search
for the bonds that tie humanity
together.
Dr. Racelle Weiman — pro
ducer of Finding Family — is a
professor at Temple University
and the first director of the
Center for Holocaust and
Humanity Education at Hebrew
University. We thank Dr.
Weiman for bringing this film to
Dr. Racelle Weiman
our attention and for sharing
her insights with our Charlotte
community.
The Yom HaShaoh Community
Commemoration will take place
at the Sam Lerner Center for
Cultural Arts at the Levine JCC.
Screening will take place at 7
PM. This program is free and
open to the public. The screen
ing of this film is sponsored by
