The Dutch-Jewish Films of Renee Sanders, This Week in NY
Dutch-Jewish film maker Renee Sanders will be screening four of her documentaries this week at "Celebrate Independent Thinking," a series at the Ann Frank Center USA at 38 Crosby Street in New York. The films explore the Holocaust in the Netherlands and its aftermath in the decades that followed. Renee, whose parents were hidden during the war, is a good friend of mine and I've had the honor of seeing several of her films. They are all compelling and blend historical insight with a great feel for the humanity of the subjects.
On Wednesday at 6 pm, the program consists of "Resisting Forces: The Jewish Council in Enschede, 1941-1943" and "A Jewish Counterforce." On Thursday, Renee will screen and discuss "Mink Hides My Misery," about German-Jewish women who moved to the Netherlands and then survived the Holocaust there, and "From 'S Graveland to the Promised Land." They're in Dutch with English subtitles.
The series is part of the "5 Dutch Days, 5 Boroughs" events celebrating New York's Dutch heritage. For more information, go to www.5dutchdaysnyc.org.
