The Oscar Awards may be over but you have the unique opportunity to witness a glimpse of history, one girl’s journey to survive the Holocaust. Branford’s Legacy Theatre is honored to present the Connecticut premiere of “Eva’s Promise” on Thursday, March 21 at 7 p.m., with a post-film talk-back with Susan Kerner, a co-producer.
Board a train for the Nazi concentration camp of Auschwitz with Eva, a mere fifteen year old. She has made a promise to her older sibling that if she survives the Holocaust, she will return to their home and unearth the poems and paintings Heinz has created and then hidden under the floorboards of their attic. When the war ends, Eva becomes the posthumous step-sister of Anne Frank when Eva's mother marries Anne’s father. You already know Anne’s incredible story. Now learn how Eva keeps her promise to Heinz to share his artistic legacy with the world.
Join the audiences who have already witnessed this special screening and sing its praises at the Museum of Jewish Heritage, the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam and the Zekelman Holocaust Center. Jeff Provost, Managing Director of The Legacy Theatre, commented: “We are honored to have been selected as the venue for the Connecticut premiere of “Eva’s Promise.” This unique and special story, along with the filmmaker's talk-back, will be a highlight of the start of our fourth season serving the Shoreline communities and all of Connecticut."
For tickets ($20), call the Legacy Theatre, 128 Thimble Islands Road, Branford at 203-315-1901 or online at LegacyTheatreCT.org.
Follow Eva's journey to hope and redemption as she honors her commitment to her older brother Heinz’s artistic legacy with optimism and courage.
