Up and coming

Israeli film to be screened Nov. 30
     Because of That War, a rarely seen Israeli film about two rock
musicians who record songs about the Holocaust, will be shown at 7:30
p.m., Thursday, Nov. 30, in Room 004 of Kirkbride Lecture Hall.
     Sponsored by the Frank and Yetta Chaiken Center for Jewish
Studies, both the film and a discussion to follow are free and open to
the public.
     Directed by filmmaker Orna Ben Dov Nir, Because of That War is
one of the first Israeli films to deal with Holocaust survivor
families. The film juxtaposes rock music and the Holocaust, resulting
in some very powerful compositions when the two musicians, among
Israel's most talented performers, discover a deep personal connection
to the Jewish catastrophe.
