[Film Screening & Director's Discussion: Killing Kasztner: The Jew who Dealt with the Nazis]

Jewish Studies Program and Hannah Arendt Center present:

Film Screening & Director's Discussion: Killing Kasztner: The Jew who Dealt with the Nazis

Thursday, December 4, 2014
Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium
5:00 pm – 8:00 pm

This event occurred on:  The Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities at Bard College and the Jewish Studies Program presented a special screening of the groundbreaking film, Killing Kasztner: The Jew who Dealt with the Nazis, along with an in-depth lecture and discussion led by the Director, Gaylen Ross.

Watch the official trailer, here.
The film is a theatrical documentary featuring Ross and her search for the truth about Rudolf Kasztner. Kasztner is known for negotiating face to face with Adolf Eichmann and rescuing 1700 Jews on a train to Switzerland from Auschwitz. After the war, Kasztner and his family moved to Israel where fellow Israelites questioned his actions and suggested he gave preference of rescued Jews. Through accounts of the political trial, startling revelations by his assassin, Zeev Eckstein, his daughter, Zsuzsi, and the survivors of the train, audiences can now decide the legacy of this forgotten man.

Location: The Gabrielle H. Reem and Herbert J. Kayden Center for Science and Computation in the Laszlo Z. Bito '60 Auditorium (Room 103). A small reception will follow the discussion. Please contact the Hannah Arendt Center if you have any questions [email protected].
