Gloria Sabin and Linda Berliner, Co-Chairs February 2012 page 6 Nuremberg Comes to Sarasota-Manatee at Temple Beth Israel Following the Nuremberg trial of senior Nazi henchmen like Herman Goering, Rudolf Hess and Albert Speer ended in 1946, the Allies used footage of the dramatic proceedings to produce a film to show the irrefutable guilt of those responsible for the most unspeakable “crimes against humanity” the world had ever seen. The aim was to document the trial as a high example of civilized world citizenship (since fierce hatred and the desire for harsh revenge were then consuming most of Europe) would serve as an inspiration to others in the fight against the potential for future tyrannical brutality. Shown extensively in Germany, where it was a key component of the Allies de-Nazification campaign, "Nuremberg" was also supposed to be screened in the U.S. as well. But, this did not happen. Apparently, with the Cold War becoming more intensified, Washington thought twice about distributing a film that enhanced the Soviet Union’s image while at the same time cast a dark light on our newly vested ally, West Germany. Now, however, this powerful film is being seen again. Thanks to a masterful reconstruction of a copy (the original negative and soundtrack were lost or destroyed) by Sandra Schulberg and Josh Waletsky, Nuremberg: Its Lesson for Today is returning us once again to the courtroom where evil itself stood on trial.

February 2012 page 12 Special Shabbat February 3 On Friday, February 3, Temple Beth Israel will celebrate the 12th anniversary of Women On Our Own (WOOO) at a special Shabbat Service featuring Jewish author and physician Dr. Bernd Wollschlager. As we honor this distinguished and vital group, we acknowledge the role these ladies have played not only in the formation of TBI but also in the growth of the Jewish community here. Many are founding members of this congregation. In addition, these women have contributed to the growth of our important Jewish institutions, including the Jewish Federation of Sarasota Manatee, Kobernick-Anchin Retirement Community, the Jewish Museum of Florida and the Holocaust Museum. Please join us at the 8pm Shabbat Services as we salute the accomplishments of these pioneers and show our gratitude for their important gifts to TBI and the greater Jewish community.
