The Los Angeles Jewish Film Festival, Museum of Tolerance, and Jewish Story Partners invite you to commemorate Yom Hashoah with a special screening of the new film

“ELIE WIESEL: SOUL ON FIRE”

Thursday, April 24 at 6:30 PM
at the Museum of Tolerance

Join the community for an unforgettable evening honoring the legacy of Elie Wiesel, Nobel laureate and Holocaust survivor, and learn of his incredible and moving journey through this powerful documentary.

Elie Wiesel was 15 years old when he, his family, and his entire close-knit Jewish community were deported to Auschwitz. With his indelible and shattering 1958 memoir Night, Elie Wiesel eloquently transformed his trauma into literature of the highest order, helping to shape our collective memory of the Holocaust.

This film is told primarily through Wiesel’s own words with unprecedented access to his family and archives, and is a beautiful tribute to the Holocaust survivor, author and teacher who dedicated his life to fighting indifference and promoting human rights.

A Q&A with director Oren Rudavsky moderated by Dr. Stephen Smith, author and executive director emeritus of the USC Shoah Foundation.

Community Partners include Wilshire Blvd. Temple and Sinai Temple
