Museum of Tolerance to Hold Special Screening of ECHOES FROM THE ATTIC

Exploring the Holocaust from the perspective of survivor's and their rescuers, the Museum of Tolerance will hold a Special Screening of "Echoes from the Attic" directed by filmmaker Debbie Goodstein, on Monday, April 24th at 7PM, as part of the museum's Yom HaShoah week (April 24 - 30).

The screening will be followed by a discussion with director Goodstein and members of her family that were in the attic, as well as second and third generation survivor descendants. There will also be a special musical tribute performed by Stephanie Kupfer, granddaughter of Holocaust survivor Vernon Rusheen Z"L.

Goodstein's 1988 iconic feature documentary "Voices From the Attic" told the intimate yet epic story of Goodstein's family in Poland and the Polish family who rescued them and then hid them in their attic for two years during the Nazi Occupation. "Echoes From the Attic", her follow-up film made in 2015, explores the often tense and distant relationship between them and its effect on both the Jewish refugees and their Polish rescuers when the family returned more than two decades later.

It is the story of the triumph of an enduring bond, forged in war, tempered by compassion and made resilient by love.

Debbie Goodstein is a writer-director whose other work include: "Mighty Fine" (2012) starring Chazz Palminteri and Andie McDowell and "Saying Kaddish" (1991).

The Museum of Tolerance is located at 9786 West Pico Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90035.
