Virtual Holocaust Film Festival, Spring 2023

Virtual Holocaust Film Festival

 

Ramapo students created this virtual Holocaust film festival as a final project in Dr. Jacob Ari Labendz’s course, “Holocaust and Media,” in Spring 2023. Each student contributed a festival-style video introduction to a film of their choosing, which they believe people interested in Holocaust cinema should watch, enjoy, and consider.
