One hundred thirteen people attended the first screening of the Academy Award winning documentary, One Survivor Remembers, based on Gerda Weissmann Klein's book, All But My Life. Approximately half were new attendees who had not been to a book discussion, but were brought by friends or family. Most stayed afterwards for a discussion of what they had seen. Many brought food to donate. Those who had attended a book discussion and the documentary or who had brought food were given their ticket to the September 11 lecture.
People who attended a book discussion, but who missed this documentary screening, have one more chance at 6:00 p.m. Tuesday, September 9. Tickets will be passed out then. Anyone who missed the discussion, but who wishes to attend simply needs to bring five non perishable food items to the library Tuesday evening and you can receive a ticket. You can also stay to see this wonderful documentary as a way to prepare for Ms. Klein's visit.
Remember, everyone is invited to the screening, but only those with tickets may attend the lecture on September 11.
