Eighth Annual Norman Cohn Family Holocaust Remembrance and Education Lecture

Thursday, April 21, 2016 - 7:00 pm

Paula Fouce, producer and director of No Asylum: The Untold Chapter of Anne Frank’s Story, will introduce this 2015 documentary feature film and then conduct a question-answer session following the screening. This will be the first screening of the film in the Midwest.

No Asylum is based on more than 70 recently discovered documents, including letters written by Otto Frank, Anne Frank’s father, that detail the desperate efforts of a loving father to save his family from the murderous clutches of the Nazis and his failure to find a safe haven for his family.  Otto’s letters and the U.S. State Department responses paint a picture of the world’s failure to respond to the plight of the Jewish refugees--a story that has important implications for responses to today's international refugee crisis.

Paula Fouce is the producer/director of seven films, including Not in God's Name: In Search of Tolerance with the Dalai Lama (2007) and Song of the Dunes: Search for the Original Gypsies (2009).
