Time: 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm (EDT)
Bnai Keshet

“They met in secret to negotiate the unthinkable – compensation for the survivors of the largest mass genocide in history. Survivors were in urgent need of help, but how could reparations be determined for the unprecedented destruction and suffering of a people? Reckonings explores this untold true story set in the aftermath of the Holocaust.

Directed by award-winning filmmaker Roberta Grossman, Reckonings (https://reckoningsfilm.org/film/synopsis/) recounts the tense negotiations between Jewish and German leaders. Under the constant threat of violence, they forged ahead, knowing it would never be enough but hoping it could at least be an acknowledgement and a step towards healing.”

Film showing at BK followed by discussion on the possibilities and limitations of reparations and repair. For a link to view the film at home, from one week before to one week after, contact
