Sara & Sam Schoffer Holocaust Resource Center – Stockton University: How Saba Kept Singing – Film Screening and Talkback with Musician Avi Wisnia

The award-winning documentary film, How Saba Kept Singing, shares the story of Cantor, Holocaust Survivor, and Military Veteran, David S. Wisnia, affectionately known as “Saba”, who spends his later years travelling with his grandson and musical accompanist, Avi Wisnia. David shares the story of how he survived the Holocaust through music. For years, Cantor Wisnia’s story centered around the belief that he survived Auschwitz mainly by using his beautiful singing voice to entertain his Nazi captors. These performances in the death camp gave him status as a” privileged prisoner.” However, when David takes his family back to Poland for one last performance, Avi starts asking questions and they discover that someone else had a hand in Saba’s survival. Please join us for an uplifting story about music, faith, family, and resilience, proving love can grow and take hold in even the darkest of places.

 THIS EVENT IS FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC – RSVP REQUIRED
