Antisemitism In The Past And Present

Genocide, Humankind's Perpetual Failure

Dismantling the Big Lie

by: Steven Jacobs & Mark Weitzman
Foreward by Rabbi Abraham Cooper.

In association with Ktav Publishing, The Simon Wiesenthal Center has published Dismantling The Big Lie: The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a definitive, yet easily understandable refutation of the horrific antisemitic canard.

"History has taught us that words can be more effective weapons than bullets or bombs. The systematic lies of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion caused untold suffering to the Jewish people throughout the bloody twentieth century. Tragically, its insidious antisemitic imagery still invokes hate today, on every continent and on the Internet. This project by the Simon Wiesenthal Center provides the necessary tools for today's generation to confront and defeat this 'big lie'".   -Simon Wiesenthal

Moriah Films is the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Jack and Pearl Resnick documentary film division. To date, the Wiesenthal Center has been the recipient of two Academy Awards® one for Genocide and the other for The Long Way Home.

Winston Churchill: Walking With Destiny

The newest production from the Moriah Films Division of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, focuses on the years 1940 and 1941, when the Swastika flew over continental Europe. Only England with her back to the wall, under Winston Churchill, remained defiant.

Walking With Destiny highlights Churchill's years in the political wilderness, his early opposition to Adolf Hitler and Nazism, and his support for Jews under threat by the Nazi regime. As historian John Lukacs explains, Churchill may not have won the War in 1940, but without him, the War most certainly would have been lost. Sir Martin Gilbert, historical consultant for the film and Churchill's official biographer, adds that had Churchill's warnings about Nazi Germany's racial policies towards Jews been heeded in the early 1930's, the Holocaust may never have occurred. The film examines why Winston Churchill's legacy continues to be relevant in the 21st century and explores why his leadership remains inspirational to current day political leaders and diplomats..

“Production and distribution of this film was made possible, in large part, through the support, coordination and financial assistance of the Office of Holocaust Issues, U.S. Department of State”

Narrated by Sir Ben Kingsley

Against the Tide

Narrated by Dustin Hoffman, Against the Tide is a compelling, documentary detailing what happened in the United States and Canada during the Holocaust. It highlights the struggles of a young activist, Peter Bergson, who challenged the Roosevelt Administration, demanding that the rescue of Europe’s Jews become the American Jewish community’s top priority. Bergson, through a never before seen 1977 interview, gives a first-hand account of what occurred.

I Have Never Forgotten You: The Life and Legacy of Simon Wiesenthal

Simon Wiesenthal, a Holocaust survivor who lost 89 family members, helped track down over 1,100 Nazi war criminals and spent six decades fighting antisemitism and prejudice against all people. Watching the early efforts of the US government to prosecute Nazi war criminals he realized, "There is no freedom without justice," and initially deicded to dedicate a few years to that quest. A few years turned into the rest of his life.

Narrated by Nicole Kidman

Ever Again

Ever Again examines the resurgence of violent antisemitism and terrorism that threatens Europe and all of Western civilization. It exposes the dangerous Islamic extremism and culture of death being preached from the mosques of Europe's major cities and its impact on the recent attacks in Madrid and London.

It examines the new Neo-Nazism in Germany and the shifts from the traditional antisemitism of the right to the antisemitism of the extreme left, and it raises disturbing questions about our future.

The film's conclusion echoes Edmund Burke's warning, "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."

Narrated by Kevin Costner

Beautiful Music

Beautiful Music is the remarkable story of Devorah Schramm, an American-born, Orthodox Jewish pianist and composer who, after relocating to Israel, taught piano to a 9-year old blind and severely autistic Palestinian girl, Rasha Hamid, in the worst days of the Intifada. This heartwarming true story of the dedication of a teacher to her student is a snapshot of what is possible when peace finally comes to the Middle East.

It is a testimony to the human spirit and to the incredible talents and resources that Israel has to offer and is eager to share with the entire region.

Narrated by Brooke Shields

Genocide

Winner of the 1981 Academy Award® for best feature documentary.

Genocide is the story of man's inhumanity to man - the story of the millions of men, women and children who fell victim to Hitler's "Final Solution." A unique multi-image documentary which combines historical narrative with actual stories of ordinary people caught up in the Nazi reign of terror.

Narrated by Elizabeth Taylor and Orson Welles.

The Long Way Home

Winner of the 1997 Academy Award™ for Best Documentary Feature.

The Long Way Home examines the critical post-World War II period between 1945 and 1948 and the struggle of the tens of thousands of displaced Jewish refugees to find dignity and renewal in the aftermath of the Nazi Holocaust.

Narrated by Morgan Freeman.

 

Liberation

Liberation is unique among the many documentaries on World War II because it addresses two themes in a single film: the dramatic story of the battle waged on two fronts during the War - the Allied campaign to liberate Europe and Adolf Hitler's genocidal war against the Jews.

Narrated by Sir Ben Kingsley, Miriam Margolyes, Patrick Stewart, Jean Boht and Whoopi Goldberg.

 

Echoes That Remain

Echoes That Remain is a poignant study of Jewish shtetl life before the Holocaust. It combines hundreds of rare archival photographs and previously unseen film footage, with live action sequences shot on location at the sites of former Jewish communities in Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland and Rumania.

Narrated by Martin Landau and Miriam Margolyes.

In Search of Peace

"In Search Of Peace" chronicles the first two decades of Israel's existence, offering new insights on the origins of the Middle East conflict. The film weaves together historical narrative, anecdotes and dramatic personal stories, drawing on interviews with the leaders who helped make that history.

Combining a rich tapestry of rare archival film and photos, "In Search of Peace" not only examines events in Israel, but their impact on other places as well - the Arab refugee camps, the General Assembly of the United Nations and from there to the world capitals of Moscow, Paris, London, Buenos Aires, Cairo and Washington D.C.

The film offers a unique global perspective on one of the most important events of the Twentieth Century and one of the seminal events in the 3,500-year history of the Jewish People.

Narrated by Michael Douglas

• a rabbi's son who disguised himself as a Major in the SS to save Jews;
• a young woman involved in the plot to blow up the Crematorium at Birkenau;

Narrated by Sir Ben Kingsley
