“Strength of Courage” Holocaust Film Series: Hannah Arendt: Facing Tyranny

Date: Apr 15th

Hannah Arendt: Facing Tyranny takes a closer look at one of the most fearless political writers of modern times. Arendt came of age in Germany as Hitler rose to power, before escaping to the United States as a Jewish refugee. Through her unflinching capacity to demand attention to facts and reality, Arendt’s time as a political prisoner, refugee and survivor in Europe informed her groundbreaking insights into the human condition, the refugee crisis and totalitarianism.

The evening will include a reception and screening, followed by a panel discussion with co-director Jeff Bieber, scholar Roger Berkowitz and historian Ruth Weinberger, moderated by Chuck Todd with a special introduction by Holocaust survivor, Asher Matathias.

This film and panel discussion is part of the first-ever global film series in commemoration of Holocaust Remembrance Day, by the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference), in partnership with the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust.
