SUMMARY:"Perserverance" Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Join the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh for a 20-minute screening of “Perseverance\,” the newest edition in PA Cyber’s Emmy-nominated Moments in History series that tells the story of local Holocaust survivor Melvin Goldman (z”l). The screening will be followed by a conversation with Melvin’s daughter and author of Perseverance: One Holocaust Survivor’s Journey from Poland to America\, Lee Goldman Kikel\, and filmmaker Scot Rutledge. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Film:\n\n\nMelvin Goldman spent five years in the Jewish ghetto and concentration camps. He was 21 years old when Allied Forces liberated the concentration camps in 1945. He weighed 85 pounds and could not walk. He recovered for several years in Germany\, and then a kind stranger sponsored his move to the United States\, where he eventually raised a family and owned a jewelry store in Squirrel Hill. Goldman’s story is captured in the video “Perseverance\,” the newest edition in PA Cyber’s Emmy-nominated Moments in History series\, which captures first-hand accounts of chapters in time. Goldman recorded his memories on cassette tapes in the late 1970s. In them\, he had stated he wanted his story preserved in a book. His daughter honored his request and frequently tells his story at events. Her book was adapted into a play and performed at the New Hazlett Theater Center for Performing Arts in Pittsburgh in 2023.
