Documentary
On a train to Auschwitz, 17-year-old Heinz Geiringer told his sister Eva that he hid the paintings and poetry he created during their family’s time in hiding. Heinz made Eva promise if he should die, she would retrieve the artwork. Heinz and his father perished, but Eva and her mother survived. The Geiringers had lived near Anne Frank’s family, and after the war, Eva’s mother married Otto Frank. People the world over know Anne’s story from her famous diary; this personal documentary introduces Eva and her lifelong mission to keep alive the memory of her brother and his remarkable art.
A Q&A with the filmmakers, Stephen McCarthy and Susan Kerner, will follow the screening.
