At the end of WWII, 60 minutes of raw film, having sat undisturbed in an East German archive, was discovered. Shot by the Nazis in Warsaw in May 1942, and labeled simply "Ghetto," this footage quickly became a resource for historians seeking an authentic record of the Warsaw Ghetto. However, the later discovery of a long-missing reel, inclusive of multiple takes and cameraman staging scenes, complicated earlier readings of the footage.
Showtime: Special screening March 3 at 7:15 followed by a question and answer session with Center for Holocaust & Genocide Studies Director Bruno Chaouat.
After the Thursday night screening the film will be showing at St Anthony for the next week.
