<\/em><\/p>\nThe UN set aside January 27, the anniversary of the 1945 liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, as International Holocaust Remembrance Day, to honor the memory of victims of the Holocaust and reaffirm commitment to counter antisemitism, racism, and other forms of intolerance that may lead to group-targeted violence.<\/p>\n
\u201cBig Sonia<\/a>\u201d tells the incredible life story of Sonia Warshawski, who was 17 in 1942 when the Germans forced her and her family into the ghetto.<\/p>\n Surviving Auschwitz-Birkenau and Bergen-Belsen, her journey from detention in Nazi death camps to her life as a great-grandmother and businesswoman in Kansas City has become a surprising source of inspiration for a new generation.<\/p>\n The film is codirected by Sonia\u2019s granddaughter Leah Warshawski and Todd Soliday.<\/p>\n \u201cGottfried Helnwein and the Dreaming Child<\/a>\u201d captures the\u00a0creative process of two titans of art, where breathtaking visuals that evoke the Holocaust complement profound storytelling. It results in an awe-inspiring stage production.<\/p>\n For celebrated Austrian artist Gottfried Helnwein, the child is a symbol of innocence \u2014 a symbol Helnwiein uses to communicate a powerful and compelling message of innocence lost. For Israel\u2019s most celebrated playwright Hanoch Levin, innocence is portrayed in the measured breaths of a sleeping child moments before waking up to a nightmare.<\/p>\n Produced and directed by Lisa Kirk Colburn,<\/a> \u201cGottfried Helnwein and the Dreaming Child\u201d\u00a0captures the drama leading up to the world premiere of the controversial Israeli opera \u201cThe Child Dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n Documentary Showcase<\/a> debuts films from award-winning independent filmmakers whose goal is to improve society by raising awareness of social, cultural and environmental issues.<\/p>\n Scientology Network<\/a>: Since launching with a special episode featuring Scientology ecclesiastical leader\u00a0Mr. David Miscavige<\/a>, Scientology Network has been viewed in 240 countries and territories worldwide in 17 languages.
