THE LAST mEnTSCHDrama/Holocaust, 2016, Germany, Switzerland, France, in German, Hungarian, Hebrew, English, Yiddish, 93 min Directed by Pierre-Henry SalfatiSpeaker: Rabbi David Berkman, New City Jewish Center

Having spent a lifetime concealing his heritage, an aging german Holocaust survivor tries to come to terms with his past. Born as menachem Teitelbaum, marcus Schwarz escaped Auschwitz and exterminated his Jewishness. With no synagogue, Jewish friends or family, the hardened old man has done such an effective job of creating a new identity that, when faced with his own mortality, the rabbis refuse his about-face appeal to be buried in a Jewish cemetery. Determined to return to his birthplace and establish his ancestry, he enlists the help of gül, a brash, chain-smoking Turkish girl with a troubled history of her own. The unlikely duo sets out on a road trip to a village on the Hungarian-romanian border, a journey that will irrevocably change them both.

Speaker: Max Lewkowicz, Director

Morgenthau tells the epic story of three generations of an American family whose continual fight for justice brought them to the forefront of the most dramatic events of the past hundred years. The lives of Henry morgenthau Senior, United States Ambassador to the ottoman Empire, Henry morgenthau Junior, United States Secretary of Treasury under President Franklin Delano roosevelt, and robert m. morgenthau, District Attorney of new York County for over 30 years reveal new perspectives on the social and political shifts throughout the twentieth century. From fighting for international action against the genocide of Armenians on the cusp of WWI, through the efforts to rescue Jews during the Holocaust despite American political obstruction, and on to the struggle to

reduce street crime and pioneer the prosecution of white collar corruption in new York City, the trajectory of the three morgenthau generations epitomizes the American Jewish experience and the lasting value of public service.

rabin In His own Words is an “autobiography” of sorts, the story is told entirely in rabin’s own voice. Through a combination of rare archival footage, home movies and private letters, his personal and professional dramas unfold before the viewer’s eyes - from his childhood as the son of a labor leader before the founding of the State of Israel, through a change of viewpoint that turned him from a farmer into an army man who stood at some of the most critical junctures in Israeli history, through his later years during which he served as Prime minister and made moves that enraged a large portion of the public, until the horrific moment when his political career and life were suddenly brought to an end.

The incredible story of Julius Rosenwald, who never finished high school, but rose to become the President of Sears. Influenced by the writings of the educator Booker T. Washington, this Jewish philanthropist joined forces with African American communities during the Jim Crow South to build over 5,300 schools during the early part of the 20th century. Inspired by the Jewish ideals of tzedakah (charity) and tikkun olam (repairing the world) and a deep concern over racial inequality in America, Julius rosenwald used his wealth to become one of America’s most effective philanthropists. Because of his modesty, Rosenwald’s philanthropy and social activism are not well known today. He gave away $62 million in his lifetime.
