Holocaust Memorial Day Film Screenings

     In observance of Holocaust Remembrance Day, The Field
Library will be screening the documentary, "The Path to Nazi Genocide"
on April 28, 2014 at 1:30pm, 3:30pm and 6pm, and "The Last Days" at 7pm. 

"The Path to Nazi Genocide" is a 38-minute
film examining the Nazis’ rise and consolidation of power in Germany.
Using rare footage, the film explores their ideology, propaganda, and
persecution of Jews and other victims. It also outlines the path by
which the Nazis and their collaborators led a state to war and to the
murder of millions of people.

This film was produced by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

"The Last Days" is the winner of the 1998 Academy Award for Best
Documentary.  This powerful film traces the compelling experiences of
five Hungarian Holocaust survivors who fell victim to Hitler's
brutal war against the Jews during the final days of World War II.
Including newly-discovered historical footage and a rare interview with a
former Nazi doctor at Auschwitz, the film tells the remarkable story of
five people - a grandmother, a teacher, a businessman, an artist and a
U.S. Congressman - as they return from the United States to their
hometowns and to the ghettos and concentration camps in which they were
imprisoned. Through the eyes of the survivors and other witnesses, The
Last Days recounts one of the most brutal chapters of this dark period
in human history, when families were taken from their homes, stripped of
their dignity, deported to concentration camps and ultimately murdered.
Above all, The Last Days is a potent depiction of personal strength and
courage, and a testament to the power of the human spirit.
