Halifax - International Holocaust Remembrance Day
Please join us for a special screening of the film HERE LIVED.
Free | Presented in partnership with the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21.
Tuesday, January 27 | 1PM | Bronfman Theatre, Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 | 1055 Marginal Rd., Halifax, NS |
Film: Here Lived, 2023, Directed by Jane Wells, Netherlands, English, Documentary, 81 minutes.
HERE LIVED is the story of hidden children, murdered parents, and the stones that bring healing. Conceptual artist Gunter Demnig’s Stolpersteine project provides a path from one of the most egregious wrongs of history, the Nazi reign of terror, to individual and community reconciliation.
The Stolpersteine Demnig crafted are, in theory, quite simple: concrete blocks measuring 10x10cm, topped with permanent brass plates that are hand stamped with the names and fates of victims of Hitler’s reign of terror. The stones are laid into the pavement in front of the last voluntarily chosen residence of those murdered by the Nazis. They have now been placed in 30 countries across Europe. The Netherlands, second only to Poland in the percentage of Jews murdered in World War II, is where the demand for Stolpersteine is greater than anywhere else in the world. It is here that the film is focused. HERE LIVED tells the story of the current Stolpersteine project, as racism, antisemitism, and autocracy are on the rise and another grim war is being fought in Europe.
Reception to follow film screening.
