Community Holocaust Remembrance Day Movie Screening - The Boy in the Woods

The Jewish Council of North Central Florida, Congregation B'nai Israel and Temple Shir Shalom invite you to an:
International Holocaust Remembrance Day Movie Screening:
THE BOY IN THE WOODS, based on the best-selling memoir by Maxwell Smart

Please join us for a special FREE event commemorating International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Based on a true story, Maxwell Smart was eleven years old when his entire family was killed before his eyes. He might have died along with them, but his mother selflessly ordered him to save himself. Alone in the forest, he dug a hole in the ground for shelter and foraged for food in farmers’ fields. His clothes in rags and close to starvation, he repeatedly escaped death at the hands of Nazis.
Max’s epic tale of heroism will inspire with its proof of the enduring human spirit. From the brutality of war emerges a man who would become a celebrated artist, offering the world, in contrast to the horrors of his suffering, beautiful works of art. THE BOY IN THE WOODS is a remarkable historical document about a time that should never be forgotten.
