A Real Pain: Screening followed by discussion

We are pleased to present “A Real Pain,” in observance of the April’s Holocaust Memorial Day, or Yom HaShoah. The Oscar winning film follows two American cousins as they travel to Poland to witness the place where their grandmother survived the Holocaust. The film addresses intergenerational trauma and the question of how best to remember tragedy in a serious, yet not too heavy-handed way—mixing humor and recognizable family dynamics with philosophical questions. Rabbi Danielle Stillman will lead a discussion after the movie for those who wish. The screening is generously supported by the Holocaust Remembrance Film Fund. Sponsored by the Film and Media Culture Department.
