Join us for a remarkable evening under the stars as we continue our year-long Screening the Holocaust series with an unforgettable presentation of Jake Paltrow’s award-winning film June Zero. Set amidst the lush, natural beauty of the Miami Beach Botanical Gardens, this one-night-only event takes place on Monday, November 4 at 7:30pm and will feature a special in-person appearance by writer/director Jake Paltrow!
Highlights of the evening include a special introduction by director Jake Paltrow, followed by an in-depth post-screening conversation in which Paltrow will share his insights and inspirations with moderators Dr. Miriam Klein Kassenoff, founder of the Holocaust Teacher’s Institute, and Dr. Nikki Freeman, Education Director at the Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach.
Shot in lush super 16mm in Israel and Ukraine, Jake Paltrow’s stunning and thought-provoking historical drama captures a profound event in the history of the young state—a moment that dramatically changed, both inside and outside of Israel, how the Holocaust is now understood and remembered. Inspired by true events, June Zero is set in 1962 Israel, where, after an emotional public trial, Adolf Eichmann—one of the key architects of the Holocaust—has been tried and sentenced to death for crimes against humanity and crimes against the Jewish people.
The Screening the Holocaust series is presented in collaboration with the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference), the Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach, the Holocaust Teacher’s Institute, and The University of Miami’s Sue and Leonard Miller Center for Contemporary Judaic Studies.
