Shul member Judith K. Weiner, working with the staff at Peconic Landing, has arranged a Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) program at the senior living community in Greenport.
Judith Weiner will introduce the program and featured speaker Rena Wiseman will share her story with the residents as candles bearing the names of children lost in the Holocaust are lighted. Afterward, participants will view the film, “Zone of Interest.” Loosely based on the 2014 novel by Martin Amis, the film focuses on the life of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss and his wife Hedwig, who live with their family in a home in the “zone of interest,” within sight of the notorious German concentration camp. Pictured, the family recreates in the shadow of the horrors taking place nearby.
The program at Peconic Landing will be held on Wednesday, April 23, at 3:30 p.m.
