TRIANGLES: Witnesses of the Holocaust (2013, dir. Ann P Meredith) For Yom HaShoah Bet Mishpachah is joining The Human Rights Campaign and other community partners for a special film screening and panel discussion with LGBT survivors of the Holocaust. Following the 45 minute screening there will be a Q & A session with the film director, Ann Meredith. Light refreshments will be served. Tickets: $10 online or at the door. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TRIANGLES is an unprecedented, inclusive and history changing film that shines an intimate light on a broader community and culture of the Holocaust not previously revealed. The Holocaust was a cruel and inconceivable tragedy. Not only were six million Jews murdered, other groups rarely heard about were also persecuted and killed by the Nazis before, during and after the Holocaust. TRIANGLES allows victims and survivors who have been left out tell their stories in their own words. Victims were of other religions, different classes, women and the disabled. Three million Soviet POWS, fifteen thousand male homosexuals, lesbians, transsexual and transgender people, one million Gypsies and two million Poles were also murdered. Writer/Director/Producer Ann P Meredith, a lesbian and survivor of military sexual assault, experimentation, interrogation and torture herself realized TRIANGLES in a 'call to action.' TRIANGLES honors those whose lives were taken and celebrates the survivors who endured the deepest suffering, continue to heal and are helping others to heal. Cameras are close-in allowing the survivors’ faces to be the cinematic palette, the visual landscape. Panel Discussion Members: Ann P Meredith – Writer/Director/Producer Swordfish Productions Al Munzer – Holocaust survivor Evelyn Torton Beck – Holocaust survivor Joel Wind – Al Munzer's Partner of 35 years ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information: Bet Mishpachah Program Director Sharon Greenbaum: program@betmish.org
