Film Screening: “Remember Belsen”

Remember Belsen is a moving interpretation of Alfred Hitchcock’s film F3080, which captured the horror with which British and Canadian liberators were confronted at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in April 1945.

This eye-witness account is told by five Jewish survivors, a cameraman, and well-known Australian war artist Alan Moore, who was the first to record the horrors of Bergen-Belsen with his art.

The documentary features characters heroic, evil, and enterprising — some destined for fame, others for infamy. But even against such an inhospitable and mind-numbing landscape, the seeds of friendship were sown and would blossom many decades later.
