Atlanta Premiere! The Presence of Their Absence Monday, November 11, 2019 | 7:00pm | The Temple in partnership with Breman Museum

Join Rabbi Berg and Producer Donna Kanter for the Atlanta premiere of award-winning film, The Presence of Their Absence. A short discussion will follow. The Presence of Their Absence follows Fred Zaidman, the son of Holocaust survivors, on a journey to trace his inherited trauma. Armed with determination and scant clues from his late parents, he ventures into the unknown. With helpers in Poland, Israel, and Germany, and an unlikely source—a Baptist minister in Atlanta who guides him through a cemetery in Poland—Fred finds his roots in the ashes of the Shoah, unshackles his pain, and through the puzzle of his ancestral past reconstructs his future.
