Apsell DESCRIPTION:To commemorate Kristallnacht\, we will screen the recent award- winning documentary\, "Resistance: They Fought Back" - and then meet its d irector.\n\nThe film depicts the largely unknown story of widespread Jewis h resistance and courage during the Holocaust\, providing a needed correct ive to the myth of Jewish passivity. Based on extensive research and conve rsations with historians\, survivors and their families\, it was filmed in Poland\, Lithuania\, Latvia\, Israel and the US. The film depicts heroism in the face of the worst barbarity: ghetto uprisings\, rebellions in deat h camps\, partisans fighting the Nazis in forests\, and countless acts of nonviolent resistance.\n\nA Q&\;A with acclaimed director Paula S. Apse ll will follow along with a light buffet dinner.\n\nThe film is appropriat e for teens and we invite teens along with their parents to join us.
