RETURN is a first person account adapted from Dr. Fred Sondermann’s memoirs of his trip back to Germany 30 years after the Holocaust. The film walks the viewer through the experience, contemplating victimization, the nature of blame, the appropriate issuance of forgiveness, and the determination to move forward unburdened by ghosts of the past. (32 minutes)

SURVIVING is an intimate portrait of the relationship between the filmmaker and her adoptive mother a Holocaust survivor, as the filmmaker attempts to come to terms with the legacy that she has inherited. (43 minutes)


A Panel Discussion will follow these screenings!
