ADMISSION: Free on Free First Tuesday
A beautiful and moving film
Auschwitz prisoners, both Jewish and non-Jewish, were tattooed with serial numbers. Numbered is an explosive, highly visual, and emotionally cinematic journey, guided by testimonies and portraits of these survivors (2012; 55min). Followed by a facilitated discussion with Alexis Herr (JFCS Holocaust Center).
