SUMMARY:JFilm 2026: Hold on to Your Music – A Mother's Legacy
DESCRIPTION:In this deeply personal and profoundly universal documentary\, based on the internationally acclaimed book and theatrical production\, Grammy-nominated concert pianist Mona Golabek shares the extraordinary story of her mother\, Lisa Jura\, a child-prodigy pianist. In 1938\, Lisa was one of 10\,000 unaccompanied Jewish children rescued from Nazi-occupied Europe and brought to England on the Kindertransport. As antisemitic persecution engulfed Vienna\, Lisa’s father\, reduced to penury like so many of his fellow Jews\, miraculously won a Kindertransport ticket while gambling. Faced with an unthinkable decision\, he and his wife had to choose which of their three daughters would be saved. They chose Lisa. Featuring interviews of towering Jewish scholars and spanning three generations\, this life-affirming film stands as a luminous testament to survival\, artistry\, and the enduring strength of a mother’s love. \nFilm subject Mona Golabek will be opening the screening with a special live piano performance sponsored by Steinway\, and following the film she will be present for a Q&A. \nWinner: Torchbearer Award—Miami Jewish Film Festival \nNominated: Best Documentary—UK Jewish Film Festival

SUMMARY:Talking Memory: In Conversation with Goldie Morgentaler  Author of Letters from the Afterlife
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a powerful literary encounter with acclaimed writer and translator Goldie Morgentaler as she presents her novel Letters from the Afterlife: The Post-Holocaust Correspondence of Chava Rosenfarb and Zenia Larsson. \nRochelle Saidel will open the program with reflections on the book as a rare and intimate window into postwar lives\, drawing on correspondence that reveals the inner worlds\, creative resilience\, and evolving identities of Holocaust survivors rebuilding their lives across continents. \nDrawing on her experience as the daughter of celebrated author and Holocaust survivor Chava Rosenfarb\, Morgentaler explores memory\, loss\, and the enduring presence of the past through a moving and imaginative narrative. \nExtraordinarily little has been written about how women who survived the Holocaust dealt with life after the war\, with the trauma of their immediate pasts\, and with the debilitating sense of alienation they felt in a changed world. Letters from the Afterlife chronicles the experiences of two female Holocaust survivors as they adjusted to life in their adopted countries of Canada and Sweden\, where they knew neither the language nor the culture. \nA compelling conversation on literature\, legacy\, and the voices that continue to shape our understanding of the Holocaust across generations. \n

SUMMARY:Out of the Sky: Heroism and Rebirth in Nazi Europe
DESCRIPTION:In this special Talking Memory book launch for Out of the Sky\, author Matti Friedman will delve into the extraordinary story of the Jewish parachutists of 1944—young men and women who\, having escaped Europe\, made the fateful decision to return under a British mission into Nazi-occupied territory. Focusing on figures such as Hannah Senesh\, Friedman will explore the gap between the mission’s tragic reality and its powerful afterlife in Israeli memory. Drawing on years of archival research\, he will reflect on how these stories were shaped\, what defines heroism in the face of failure\, and the enduring role of narrative in constructing collective memory. \nFollowing Friedman’s discussion of his book\, Dr. Rochelle Saidel will focus on Haviva Reick (1914–1944)\, one of the three women among the Jewish parachutists sent from Mandatory Palestine to Europe during World War II. Operating in Slovakia during the Slovak National Uprising\, Reick worked to aid Allied airmen and rescue Jews. Captured and murdered by Nazi collaborators\, her story highlights the courage\, moral commitment\, and tragic fate of those who risked everything to save others. \nThe program will conclude with Shlomit Dagan\, Director of the Hannah Senesh House\, who will highlight the story of Hannah Senesh and reflect on the ongoing work of remembrance and education at the Hannah Senesh House. \n
