Shalom Saframin,
Waves of Memory - a new documentary by Gad Aisen Significant historical events merge with personal memories in this beautiful documentary. The story here is about escaping WWII Europe and getting safely to the shores of Israel, a country still in the making. On December 7, 1946 the immigrant ship Rafiach, making its way from Yugoslavia, sank near the barren Greek island of Syrina. Most of the illegal immigrants survived and were rescued a few days later. On board the ship was a 12-day-old baby that survived along with his parents. 66 years later, a journey to his roots leads Shlomo, that baby, to discover more details about the true story of the drowning. Using beautifully animated sequences, we also learn about Mossad agent Abraham Lichovski who saved the immigrants. His character emerges from the shadows and tells the story as written his own hidden reports for the first time on screen. In her recent review, blogger Amy Kronish writes: "It always amazes me that there are still new and powerful Holocaust stories being uncovered. Today I had an amazing experience watching the documentary film,Waves of Memory, directed by Gad Aisen."
