Lunch & Learn Documentary

Description

Join us for a free screening of the documentary THROUGH THE EYE OF THE NEEDLE on Friday, July 6th at 12:00 pm. A Holocaust survivor’s life story is brought to the screen through her beautifully stitched images and vivid accounts of her survival. More than 40 years after the Holocaust, Esther Nisenthal Krinitz depicted her remarkable story of survival by creating a stunning series of 30 fabric collage and embroidery panels. Through Esther’s own words and images of her artwork, as well as interviews with her daughters and others, this 30-minute film explores the capacity of the human heart to heal. Through these reflections, we are reminded that genocide and acts of baseless hatred are still with us, and that Esther’s story, and those like hers, compel us to build a just and peaceful world for all. This event is part of our new Lunch & Learn program, designed to fit within your lunch hour. We will be providing a light lunch, and guests are welcome to bring their own food. Takes place in the Kozak room.
