Commemorating the 78th anniversary of the event considered the start of the Holocaust, the 15th annual Kristallnacht Film Forum presented “Buried Prayers” on Sunday, November 13, 2016 to 950 people in Zinman Hall on the Federation campus. “Buried Prayers” details the unknown story of a group of Jews who, in 1943, stood in a field in Majdanek, a death camp in Poland. Fearing their deaths, they buried their most prized possessions in the soil. After 60 years the survivors returned with an Israeli archaeological team and were given 72 hours by the Polish government to work at the site. The screenings featured in person, Matt Mazer, Executive Director and creative force behind the film, and local Holocaust survivor Norman Frajman. Raising funds for March of the Living scholarships, the Forum also featured a Donor Reception honoring Myrna and Dr. David Gross, seminal donors and activists for the MOLSouth, between the screenings.
