GENEROUSLY PRESENTED BY: THE ACKERMAN CENTER FOR HOLOCAUST STUDIES AT UTD
We’ve all heard of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, but most people have no idea how widespread and prevalent Jewish resistance to Nazi barbarism was. Instead, it’s widely believed “Jews went to their deaths like sheep to the slaughter.” Filmed in Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Israel, and the U.S., Resistance – They Fought Back provides a much-needed corrective to this myth of Jewish passivity. There were uprisings in ghettos large and small, rebellions in death camps, and thousands of Jews fought Nazis in the forests. Everywhere in Eastern Europe, Jews waged campaigns of non-violent resistance against the Nazis.

Description:
Rose-Helene Spreiregen was just a child waiting in line for rations when she overheard adults call her a “dirty Jew.” Naive and vulnerable, she thought, “Maybe they had a point. Maybe I was no good.” Rose-Helene had been fending for herself and her grandmother in German-occupied Paris ever since authorities had deported her mother in July 1942. A year later, fearing more roundups, the pair fled the city with false papers. They hid their identity at police checkpoints along their journey, and Rose-Helene recalled, “I don’t think I was ever more scared.”
Watch to discover what happened next and if Rose-Helene and her mother ever reunited.

Description:
Nascent and vibrant gay communities emerged in Germany at the turn of the 20th century, and human sexuality developed as an area of study in many of the country’s colleges. However, when the Nazis took power, one of their first goals was to dismantle these communities, resulting in the deportations and deaths of thousands of members of the German LGBTQ+ community. In commemoration of LGBTQ+ History Month, Dr. Jake Newsome, founder and director of the Pink Triangle Legacies Project, joins us to share survivor testimonies and untangle the complex motivations of Nazi leaders to combat homosexuality.
About the Speaker
Dr. Jake Newsome is an award winning scholar of German and American LGBTQ+ history whose research and resources educate global audiences. He is the Founder and Director of the Pink Triangle Legacies Project, a grassroots initiative that honors the memory of the Nazis queer victims and carries on their legacy by fighting homophobia and transphobia today through education, empowerment, and advocacy.
Jake is the author of Pink Triangle Legacies: Coming Out in the Shadow of the Holocaust (Cornell University Press), which traces the transformation of the pink triangle from a Nazi concentration camp badge into a global symbol of LGBTQ+ pride.

Opening Night Event with Reception
Moses Zaltzman is a beloved Hasidic rabbi in a dusty desert town. When his congregation is violently attacked, police quickly arrest a young white nationalist who threatened them in the past, but Rabbi Mo thinks the troubled teen may be innocent. With no one else willing to investigate, Rabbi Mo becomes the detective, and as the bodies pile up, he must learn how to use a gun in order to battle the real enemy. At the heart of the film is the unexpected bond between the rabbi and an antisemite, as well as Mo’s looming fear that he won’t pull the trigger if he has to… and that he will.
There will be a reception starting at 7PM in the Kaufman Family Living Room at the Dell JCC with light food and a free bar. Enjoy live music from Samantha Goldberg (Mazel Tov Kocktail Hour).
The movie begins at 8PM and director/screenwriter Sal Litvak will be with us in person for a Q&A after the film. Not only is Sal an accomplished filmmaker, but he also has a new book about the greatest Jewish jokes of all time being published by Skyhorse Publishing right after our festival. Sal and his wife Nina also run the Accidental Talmudist where they share Jewish widom, humor, and history with over 1.2 million followers.
