Forty Years After Sophie’s Choice

THANKS TO ALL WHO JOINED US!

This event was not recorded.

On this 40th Anniversary join us for a look back at the making of Sophie’s Choice, the controversy surrounding the film, and the connection to Olga Lengyel, whose memoir of her experience in Auschwitz was an inspiration for Styron’s novel. The second half of the program will focus on how this and other films have impacted understanding and awareness of the Holocaust.

• Dr. Michael Berenbaum, renowned Holocaust scholar, museum and film consultant.
• Stephanie Goodman, The New York Times, Film Editor.
