    MUSEUM OF TOLERANCE JERUSALEMO A SIMON TWIESENTHAL CENTERJ MUSEUM BECOME A PARTNER IN CREATION For 2,000 years, the Jewish people have yearned to return to their Promised Land. Wherever they were, they always faced East in their prayers, never giving up hope that one day they or their progeny would return. They were proud to drink wine or have a charity box in their home from the Land of Israel. In May of 1948, their collective dreams were finally realized when David Ben-Gurion announced to the world the creation of the State of Israel. At this historic moment, 71 years later, the Simon Wiesenthal Center is in the final stages of building its Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem – MOTJ – in the heart of the city center. The MOTJ is within walking distance to the Old City and the Western Wall. It is a few blocks from the King David and Waldorf Astoria hotels, two blocks from Ben Yehuda Street, around the corner from the Mamilla shopping mall and in close proximity to the American Embassy, the Knesset, Supreme Court, and the Prime Minister and President’s residences. World leaders and dignitaries who come to Jerusalem will visit the Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem for years to come. Rabbi Marvin Hier To accomplish our goal, we are looking to partner with philanthropists and visionaries from the United States and around the world who will support this once-in-a-lifetime project. Donors to the Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem will have the additional privilege of linking their name in perpetuity in the center of Jerusalem, the eternal capital of the Jewish people.

  • Memory, History, and Entrapment in the Temporal Gateway Film
    Lives in Limbo: Memory, History, and Entrapment in the Temporal Gateway Film Sarah Casey Benyahia A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Department of Literature, Film, and Theatre Studies University of Essex October 2018 Abstract This thesis examines the ways in which contemporary cinema from a range of different countries, incorporating a variety of styles and genres, explores the relationship to the past of people living in the present who are affected by traumatic national histories. These films, which I’ve grouped under the term ‘temporal gateway’, focus on the ways in which characters’ experiences of temporality are fragmented, and cause and effect relationships are loosened as a result of their situations. Rather than a recreation of historical events, these films are concerned with questions of how to remember the past without being defined and trapped by it: often exploring past events at a remove through techniques of flashback and mise-en-abyme. This thesis argues that a fuller understanding of how relationships to the past are represented in what have traditionally been seen as different ‘national’ cinemas is enabled by the hybridity and indeterminacy of the temporal gateway films, which don’t fit neatly into existing categories discussed and defined in memory studies. This thesis employs an interdisciplinary approach in order to draw out the features of the temporal gateway film, demonstrating how the central protagonist, the character whose life is in limbo, personifies the experience of living through the past in the present. This experience relates to the specifics of a post-trauma society but also to a wider encounter with disrupted temporality as a feature of contemporary life.

Richard Trank, Rabbi Marvin Hier Cast Sandra Bullock, Michael Douglas, Christoph Waltz, Leonard Nimoy Richard Trank's documentary delivers an insider's account of several key prime ministers in Israel's history. Not quite as expansive in its scope as its title suggests, Richard Trank’s documentary relates much of Israel’s early history as seen through the eyes of 84-year-old Yehuda Avner, on whose memoirs the film is based. The avuncular Avner, who serves as the film’s primary talking head, delivers a true insider’s perspective, having served as an aide and speechwriter to such key Israeli historical figures as Levi Eshkol, Golda Meir, Yitzhak Rabin, Menachem Begin and Shimon Peres. His often personal recollections form the heart of The Prime Ministers: The Pioneers. Since Avner was not personally connected to such earlier personages as Israel’s first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, the film provides only a cursory examination of the country’s founding and early years. Its focus begins with Eshkol’s tenure, which included the epochal 1967 Six-Day War.

In order to continue passing the torch of memory to the next generation, students from congregational Religious Schools, the Silver Academy, and the Jewish Youth Choir will take part on the conduct of the opening ceremony. Names are being read by a variety of Jewish and non-Jewish groups and individuals, congregations, organizations, youth groups and churches have signed on to read for portions of the vigil. Unto Every Person There is a Name seeks to dignify the memories of the victims of the Shoah (the Nazi Holocaust) by reading their names aloud. These victims were stripped of their names by their oppressors and tattooed with numbers. Through the public reading of the names of Holocaust victims, this program strives to restore a portion of their humanity and to retrieve them for the lost depths of anonymity. If you would like to have the opportunity to participate in the Reading of Names, please contact Lillian Rappaport at 236-9555, ext. 3402.

  • Are Documentaries Produced by Moriah Films
    We are pleased to offer the 2017-2018 Simon Wiesenthal Center Programming at Congregation B’nai Shalom of Buffalo Grove Echoes That Remain - December 6, 2017 A warm and rich documentary portrait of Eastern European Jewry before the Holocaust. It combines hundreds of rare archival photos and previously unseen film footage with live action sequences shot on location at the sites of former Jewish communities in Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland and Romania. Long Way Home - January 21, 2018 This film combines rare archival films and stills with new interviews, and interweaves historical narrative with stories, anecdotes, and recollections of Jewish refugees. The film opens in 1945. Germany has been defeated by the Allies and the war in Europe is officially over. The film takes an in-depth look at how most of the world was either indifferent or unwilling to deal with the plight of the Jewish refugees, but at the same time acknowledges the efforts of those who did support the survivors in their attempt to make new lives for themselves. In Search of Peace - Date TBD In Search of Peace: 1948-1967 chronicles Israel's first two decades, offering new insights on the origins of the Middle East conflict. Combining a rich tapestry of rare archival film and photos, the film offers a unique global perspective on one of the seminal events in the 3,500-year history of the Jewish people. Featuring the voices of Edward Asner, Anne Bancroft, Richard Dreyfuss, Miriam Margolyes and Michael York. "An unabashedly emotional and stirring inspirational history of Israel..." - The New York Times All are documentaries produced by Moriah Films These are free events and open to the public.
