Holocaust Center

Film Screening:

Liga Terezin

On Aug. 24, the Holocaust Center will host a film screening of “Liga Terezin” (2013), a documentary inspired by Oded Breda’s quest to document the story of a soccer league in the Ghetto Theresienstadt, after he recognized his uncle in a Nazi propaganda film about the team. This discovery started him on a journey to understand the roll that sports can play in helping to combat discrimination and antisemitism today, especially soccer, the most watched sport in the world. A panel led by Breda and Joanie Holzer Schirm, a Central Florida author and archivist of the Holden Collection, will follow the screening.

The screening is from 7 – 9 p.m. at the Winter Park Library, 1052 Morse Blvd., Winter Park. The screening is free, but registration is required. Register at http://www.holocaustedu.org.
