The Jewish Community of Greater Stowe in partnership with co-sponsors the Greater Stowe Interfaith Coalition, Stowe Jewish Film Festival and Vermont Holocaust Memorial warmly welcomes the greater community to this year's Annual Gathering for Holocaust Remembrance (Yom HaShoah), on Wednesday, April 27, from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Our program on the theme of "saving memories," will feature prayers, an inclusive candle lighting ceremony, readings by local interfaith clergy; and the film "3 Minutes – A Lengthening." A snippet of a home movie found in an attic in South Florida, taken in the late 1930's, offers a cinematic glimpse into the lives of unsuspecting Jewish citizens of a small Polish village at the precipice of WWII. By identifying people and details the life of this community, the filmmaker, Bianca Stiger, manages to restore humanity and individuality.
A Q & A facilitated by Stephen Pite, Assistant Academic Dean of Goddard College and former director of the MFA in Film at VCFA, will follow. Glenn Kurtz, finder of the footage and author of the book, "3 Minutes," will join in via Zoom.
Together we will honor the memory of those who perished at the hands of evil and pay tribute to those who survived and have made a better world for us all.
