Two Holocaust Films in One Weekend
One of the things I like about living in NYC is that you get to see movies that won't play in smaller markets. This weekend I felt like I was living at the Quad on W. 13th, watching Constantine's Sword and The Memory Thief. The first, a documentary made by an ex-Catholic priest, wasn't about the Holocaust per se, but about the history of Christianity's persecution of the Jewish people. The second was a compellingly original movie about a young man's transformation from lonely soul into insane suicide victim, triggered by the pain of the Holocaust. Remembering the past. Getting lost in the past. Neither necessarily leads you to understanding the past.

did i ever tell you that i am absolutely obsessed with the holocaust...?
moving forward, you must include me on any of the holocaust related activities you do.
Hmmm... so many points to address here... Do see The Memory Thief. It was really fascinating.
