FILM opportunity – BRING YOUR STUDENTS
In conjunction with the Holocaust training the Placitas Holocaust Remembrance and Genocide Awareness Group will show the 85-min award-winning documentary film Defiant Requiem. The film illuminates the untold story of brave acts of resistance through musicial expression by Jewish prisoners of Terezin, a WWII Czech Republic concentration camp and prison. The documentary highlights the story of Rafael Schächter, a young Czech opera-choral conductor who inspired these acts of resistance when he recruited and taught 150 prisoners Verdi’s Requiem in a dank cellar following the grueling days of forced labor that were the hallmarks of concentration camp life.
