The Lithuanian Jewish community was decimated in the Holocaust, when over 220,000 Jews, more than 95% of the Jewish population, were murdered. A key player in the massacre was Lithuanian nationalist Jonas Noreika, who today is revered as a national hero, and protected by the country's contemporary government.
Join Stephen Wise Free Synagogue for a screening of "J'accuse," the galvanizing documentary that follows the experiences of two dissident campaigners: Grant Gochin, whose family was murdered by Noreika; and Silvia Foti, Noreika's granddaughter who is bravely fighting for the truth. Together, the two push against Lithuania’s systemic Holocaust denial in an attempt to bring justice to victims and insist that the truth be told.
Following the screening, Cantor Dan Singer — who is Gochin's cousin and whose voice is featured in the film — and Rabbis Samantha Natov and Dalia Samansky will facilitate a discussion about the film.
