SUMMARY:HMH | The Rescue Film – Concierto
DESCRIPTION:The Lt. David L. Silverman Latin American Institute’s evening program will feature a special film screening and conversation around Latin American rescue during the Holocaust. The Rescue Film-Concerto is a performative film experience that combines a 60-min documentary film with a live musical performance of its musical soundtrack to recount the little-known story of ‘Righteous’ Colonel José Arturo Castellanos. Castellanos collaborated with his Jewish friend to save thousands of Jewish lives during the Holocaust by issuing Salvadoran nationality certificates while working as a diplomat putting his life and family at great risk. This ground-breaking Film-Concerto concept was developed by filmmakers Alvaro and Boris Castellanos\, grandsons of Colonel Castellanos\, as an emotionally engaging and uplifting way to tell the story of their grandfather and as a pioneering narrative in Holocaust education and commemoration of the ‘Righteous Among the Nations’. The program will feature a talk back with the filmmakers\, Alvaro and Boris Castellanos.\nThis is a bilingual program with interpretation services available in English and Spanish.\nThe Silverman Latin American Institute\, supported by the Lt. David L. Silverman Endowment Fund\, is an international bilingual conference that brings educators from Latin America and the United States together to study the Holocaust\, human rights\, and social justice. Silverman Fellows are immersed in historical and pedagogical content while creating international networks that strengthen educational collaborations.\nIf you need assistance with registration\, please call Laurie Garcia at 713-527-1611.\nTo register\, click HERE.&nbsp\;
