Marking the liberation of Auschwitz in 1945, International Holocaust Remembrance Day allows us to reflect upon the profound tragedy of the Holocaust while coming together to share a moment of peace and hope for the future. This year’s commemoration will feature a screening of Defiant Requiem, a poignant documentary that tells the remarkable story of a group of Jewish prisoners who, despite the horrors of the Holocaust, found hope and resilience through the transformative power of music. Directed by Douglas J. Cohen, the film illuminates the true story of the Jewish prisoners in the Terezin Concentration Camp who staged a performance of Verdi's "Requiem," defying their Nazi captors and reclaiming their humanity through art. Holocaust historian Alexandra Zapruder will also join us to share insights into the enduring power of art and the human spirit in the face of adversity.
