JxJ Jewish Film Festival Presents A Jewish Life

Be a part of the North American premiere of "A Jewish Life" at the JxJ Washington Jewish Film Festival on May 17 at 7:00 pm at Bethesda Row Cinema. The documentary follows Marko Feingold, born in 1913, who grew up in a Jewish working-class neighborhood of Vienna, Austria. Fateful twists and turns helped him survive the concentration camps of Auschwitz, Neuengamme, Dachau and Buchenwald. After the War he (illegally) aided tens of thousands of survivors out of Europe to what would become Israel. At the age of 105, "A Jewish Life" is his story, in his own words shortly before his death. Florian Weigensamer, part of the directing and producing team behind the project, will be making a special appearance at the screening. Take the opportunity to experience this eyewitness account of strength and courage.
