BLACK HONEY: THE LIFE AND POETRY OF AVRAHAM SUTZKEVER
As long as Abraham Sutzkever lived, he wouldn’t let a film about his life be made. Ten years after his passing, Black Honey tells the incredible story of the greatest Yiddish poet of modern times.
​
While writing with astonishing vitality, Abraham Sutzkever survived WWII, led the Paper Brigade underground movement that saved Jewish manuscripts from the Nazis, testified in the Nuremberg Trials, and led Yiddish culture in Israel after immigrating in 1947.
Featuring:
Yair Qedar, award-winning Israeli filmmaker and civil rights activist

EXCLUSIVE FILM PROGRAM:
BEYOND ALL MEMORIES:
The Semer Ensemble and the Rescued Treasure of Jewish Musical Life in Nazi Berlin
Join us in remembering Kristallnacht, the "Night of Broken Glass" or "Crystal Night." On the night of November 9, 1938, non-Jewish civilians in Nazi Germany shattered the windows of Jewish-owned stores, buildings, and synagogues.
This program presents a film screening and discussion about a treasury of Jewish music destroyed during Kristallnacht that was almost forgotten – but miraculously found!
