Holocaust stories, whether scripted or nonfiction, remain a powerful tool to understand one of the darkest chapters in human history, helping to inform the present about the need to combat any form of hatred or antisemitism. The Paley Center will bring together documentary and fiction filmmakers to explore new ways Holocaust stories are being told, especially to engage the next generation. The panel will explore why we must learn lessons from this dark past to combat antisemitism and work toward a more tolerant future. Part of Paley’s ongoing series, Media’s Role in Combating Antisemitism, this panel will be held on June 25 in NYC. More info here.
