[ha-Safran]: Dragoman Films presents the film: A TREASURE

Announcement of a new film:

Dragoman Films is proud to present A TREASURE IN AUSCHWITS as its 
special recommendation for your upcoming Holocaust Memorial Day programming.

This inspiring acclaimed documentary tells to story of a young 
student, Yariv Nornberg, who hears from an elderly vendor in a 
rundown shop a fantastic story about a Jewish treasure buried in 
Polish soil. His curiosity is aroused when he learns of the location 
of the hiding place - next to the infamous Auschwitz extermination 
camp. During the next 5 years, Yariv pursues these lost religious 
artifacts, hidden in the grounds of the Great Synagogue in the city 
of Oswiecim (Auschwitz) in 1939. For him, these artifacts embody his 
own perished family and guide his attempt for a closure and 
acceptance of the Polish people, usually regarded by Jews as
collaborators and anti-Semites.

Yariv manages to organize a unique archaeological excavation to 
unearth the treasure. But as the digging progresses, it becomes 
apparent that the synagogue's soil conceals a 60-year-old sinister 
secret and Yariv and his crew begin to lose hope. Until one morning a 
shovel hits a metallic object in one of the ditches*.

The search and excavation for the treasure translates within the film 
to a succession of poignant metaphors - to the Jewish existence in 
Poland and its annihilation, to the possibility of a dialog between 
the younger generations, to the capacity of Nazi evilness embodied in 
the presence of the nearby death camp and above all - to the growing 
sentiment that only 60 years have gone by and already WW2 and it's 
greatest nightmare - the Holocaust - is tragically transforming into 
an archaeological exhibit*

Yariv Nornberg, Protagonist of the film, is available in the U.S. and 
Canada to present the film and speak about his journey.

[ha-Safran]: Invitation to an author event

[hasafran]

Subject: [ha-Safran]: Invitation to an author event

POSTED ON BEHALF OF THE LIBRARIAN AT EAST END TEMPLE.  DO NOT REPLY TO SENDER

East End Temple - Congregation El Emet
245 East 17th Street, New York, NY 10003
Sunday, January 28 from 1–4 pm
No admission charge
Open to the public
Annual Helene Spring Library Event featuring the author, Katharine
Weber. She will read from and discuss her novel, Triangle,  the 
historical mystery based on the tragedy of the infamous 1911 Triangle 
Shirtwaist Factory fire. It is a NYC story and a Jewish story, and 
the actual building still stands and has landmark status. In Esther 
Gottesfeld, the last survivor of the Triangle fire, Weber creates a 
believable and memorable witness to the horrors of that day. In 2001, 
Esther is living in a NYC Jewish retirement home when a feminist 
professor, and Esther's own geneticist granddaughter, Rebecca, and 
Rebecca's composer husband, begin to question Esther's memories of 
the event. In an interesting twist, the author's own paternal 
grandmother worked at the Triangle factory.

[ha-Safran]: Librarian's Lobby for January 2007

[Daniel Stuhlman]

Hello safranim,

It has been many months since my last column.  During the first 
semester I was teaching 4 class sections and that left little time for writing.

Over winter vacation I helped my son write a history project about 
Congregation KINS.  I wrote about how I helped him.

It is in PDF format because pictures are included.

http://home.earthlink.net/~ddstuhlman/crc93.pdf

As always I am looking for new ideas for future columns.

http://www.jewishpub.org/product.php?isbn=0827608101

In this accessible, engaging guide to the history of the Jewish 
people in the United States, National Jewish Book Award Winner, 
Norman H. Finkelstein tells the dramatic 350-year story, from the 
earliest Jewish settlers on America’s shores to the incredible 
success of Jews in modern American business, politics, and arts. Each 
chapter focuses on a specific period and examines Jewish life at 
home, in the community, and in American society at large.

Illustrated with over 70 black and white photographs, maps, charts, 
and more than 120 feature boxes and biographies, as well as 
timelines, notes, a bibliography, and index, American Jewish History 
is a wonderful introduction to understanding the religious, 
historical, and cultural heritage of the Jewish people who helped 
shape America.

The highly acclaimed JPS Guides series is a collection of concise 
reference books, each on a specific topic of key interest within 
Jewish studies. Each book in the series offers a practical and 
authoritative introduction to the subject, providing a diverse range 
of information in a handy and engaging format. The guides are 
designed for the general reader and appropriate for those with little 
formal Jewish knowledge, as well as those who want quick access to 
basic information.

Norman H. Finkelstein is the author of more than a dozen books, 
including the JPS titles Heeding the Call: Jewish Voices in 
American’s Civil Rights Struggle (a 1997 National Jewish Book Award 
Winner) and Forged in Freedom: Shaping the Jewish-American Experience 
(a 2002 National Jewish Book Award Winner). He is the series editor 
of the JPS Guides.
