As we celebrate our 30th year as one of Harrisburg's most popular and enduring cultural programs, we invite you to join us for a live, monthly Film Series at the Alexander Grass Campus for Jewish Life, with encore screenings each month at Midtown Cinema

The Story of Annette Zelman

Based on a true account found in the book Dénoncer les Juifs sous l'Occupation ("Denouncing the Jews under the Occupation"), The Story of Annette Zelman channels Romeo and Juliet into Nazi-occupied Paris, 1942.  Annette is Jewish; Jean, her passionate suitor, is Catholic.  Much to the chagrin of Jean's wealthy, well-connected, and, frankly, anti-Jewish parents, the young couple are determined to marry, and in a singular effort to save his son from what he believes will be a terrible mistake, Jean's father reports Annette to the Gestapo, with tragic, unintended consequences for all concerned.

Saturday, Nov 23, 7:30 pm – Alexander Grass Campus for Jewish Life
Sunday, Nov 24, 2:00 pm – Encore screening at Midtown Cinema
