2025 Holocaust in Film Series: “Fighting Antisemitism: Student Produced Documentaries” with the JCRC

Given the rise of antisemitism around the world, all of us might be asking what we are doing today to help combat it. The Alabama Holocaust Education Center in partnership with the Jewish Community Relations Council of the Birmingham Jewish Federation, is proud the present the documentary Fighting Antisemitism: Student Produced Documentaries as part of our 12th annual Holocaust in Film Series.

In the summer of 2023, students in the Summer Internship Course of the Beacon Academy of Media and Digital Arts in South Elgin, Illinois had four weeks to research and produce short documentaries that investigated ways in which to combat antisemitism with the supervision of digital arts instructor Brian Erlich. This group of all non-Jewish students spent half of their summer devoted to learning about antisemitism and how to fight against it.

The range of the 10 student-produced documentaries is quite varied — all choices of the non-Jewish student producers — from interviewing a young Muslim male in Malmo, Sweden working against antisemitism to featuring a Jewish gay organization working to promote tolerance.

Through a generous partnership with the Jewish Community Relations Council of the Birmingham Jewish Federation, we are offering free tickets to students and teachers. General Admission tickets are $10 and can be purchased using the link below. Join us!
