Premiere of our Film at B’nai Israel Congregation
We were so lucky to have close to one hundred people show up for the premiere of our film at B’nai Israel Conregation in Rockville, Maryland on Sunday February 13th. The film put all three interviews together from Dr. Alfred Munzer, Mr. Isaac Gendelman, and Mr. Henry Greenbaum. They shared their stories with us and now we are sharing them with the world. The survivors and their families mixed with the students, community members as well as synagogue and Talmud Torah leadership in an event that we will always remember. We even had media coverage from the Washington Jewish Week.
Thanks to Shmulik Almany and Geoff Chesman for their photos from the event.
