Film screening: Refuge: Stories of the Selfhelp Home Wednesday, November 13 7:00 p.m. UW Hillel (611 Langdon Street) Q & A with director Ethan Bensinger to follow screening Sponsored by UW Hillel and the Mosse/Weinstein Center for Jewish Studies. REFUGE is a one-hour documentary that reaches back more than 75 years to give a voice to the last generation of Central European, Jewish Holocaust survivors and refugees. The film explores the lives of six Chicagoans against the context of the Nazi cataclysm, and the resourceful community that came together to create a singular place those fleeing persecution could call home. Warm, moving and deeply personal, REFUGE interweaves remarkable testimony, archival footage and expert commentary. More information available here: refugestories/
