Holocaust in Film Series: The World Will Tremble

About the Event

The AHEC invites you to join us for the opening screening of our 13th annual Holocaust in Film Series: Rescue, Escape, and Liberation, presented by the Perlman Donor Advised Fund. On February 3rd at Sidewalk Film Center & Cinema, we will screen “The World Will Tremble,” a recent release written and directed by Academy Award-nominee Lior Geller. This film shares the powerful true story of Michal Podchlebnik and Solomon Weiner, two prisoners who became the first to escape the Chelmno extermination camp and to courageously bear witness to the horrors the Nazi regime perpetrated. Geller spent years conducting research for this film, collaborating with historians, Yad Vashem, and the families of the men who escaped to craft an authentic and poignant retelling of their remarkable escape. Following the screening, Lior Geller will join us via Zoom for an exclusive Q&A.

Tickets are $10 per person. Purchase your tickets today!
