CONDEMNED TO REMEMBER

On Monday, October 8^th, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Shea Theatre on the Ammerman Campus in Selden, there will be a free presentation of the award winning Irish film, Condemned to Remember.  The screening is cosponsored by the Honors College, the Ammerman Office of Student Activities, the Center for Social Justice and Human Understanding, and the Ammerman Social Science Department.  The film is produced by RTE (Ireland’s national television and radio broadcaster) and directed by Gerry Gregg (often described as “Ireland’s Ken Burns.”)  The film is a documentary concerning Europe’s handling of the refugee crisis and stars Holocaust survivor Tomi Reichental (also known for the documentary Close to Evil) and how he is condemned to remember his own childhood at the hands of the Nazis.  It is a powerful film and both Gregg and Reichental will be present at the screening to answer questions from the audience.

 

All students, faculty, staff, and the general community are welcome to attend.
