The program includes a screening of the 60‐minute film Memories of the Warsaw Ghetto, followed by an interactive discussion with Holocaust survivor Dr. Stefan Carter [Reicher].

The film is based on the childhood of survivor Dr. Eugene Bergman, who was deafened when a Nazi soldier hit him in the head with a rifle butt. Directed by Alexander Genievsky, who is also Deaf, the film includes both American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation and captions.

This program includes an introduction and post‐film discussion with Carter, a Winnipegger whose story is presented in the Museum. While in the Warsaw Ghetto, Carter saw his mother forced onto a train to the Treblinka death camp. His father is believed to have died in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. 

This interactive discussion will be moderated by Daniel Stone, Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Winnipeg and an expert in Jewish and Eastern European history. The discussion will includes an audience Q&A session.

ASL interpretation will be provided.
