Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film contains the actual footage of the concert held in the Theresienstadt Ghetto by world-renowned Jewish conductor Raphael Schachter, who was ordered by the Nazis to play "Jewish music" for visiting Red Cross delegates (the Nazis believed that Jews could not comprehend or appreciate "Christian" music). Boldly defying his brutal imprisoners, Schachter had his orchestra masterfully play a Christian litany, Verdi's Requiem - a dramatic act of defiance in the face of Nazi anti-Semitism. The footage of this concert was restored and re-mastered for this movie.
- Crazy creditsThe film carries this dedication: "To Herbert Feiler -- author, activist, benefactor, and friend; A man whose wisdom and friendship made this effort possible."
Featured review
Setting history straight
This film was fascinating on so many levels, above all countering the narrative that the 6 million Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust went 'like lambs to the slaughter'. There were, in fact, many incredible examples of resistance, especially by women who risked their lives to save others. The film tells these and other stories so well, including through moving and educational interviews with Holocaust survivors and their families. This is a vital film in Holocaust liturgy and should be shown, in particular, to younger generations for whom a lack of Holocaust education is playing out in a devastating wave of antisemitism. Never again is now - this film will remind you why.
