Congregation Beth Evergreen is delighted to invite you to the April 8th screening of Defiant Requiem, an inspiring documentary film that highlights the most dramatic example of intellectual and artistic courage in the Theresienstadt (Terezín) Concentration Camp during World War II (view trailer here).

As a nonprofit founded by Maestro Murry Sidlin — the film’s featured distinguished conductor, educator, and artistic innovator — the Defiant Requiem Foundation "offers a unique approach to addressing contemporary issues of bigotry, human rights violations, mass atrocity and genocide crimes." 

CBE is hosting this powerful film for our beloved mountain community at no cost to participants. The evening will also include an introduction and lively post-screening discussion with founder and featured conductor Maestro Murry Sidlin.  

By honoring the defiance and bravery of the prisoners in the Theresienstadt Concentration Camp (Terezín) on Holocaust Rememberance Day, CBE seeks to inspire and facilitate a robust and generative local dialogue around human agency and the essential role of music and art in reclaiming a spirit of shared humanity. 

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, or simply visit this registration link to join us! We truly look forward to experiencing this transformational event together, as a community, with open minds and hearts.
