The Devil's Arithmetic
Academy Award winner Dustin Hoffman gives a powerful introduction based on a popular children's book that gives us a heartbreaking look as to why we must "never forget" the holocaust.

The story begins with a typical sixteen-year-old girl, Hanna Stern, who ignores her family's heritage until one Passover Seder, when she is mysteriously taken back to German-occupied Poland to face the terrible plight of her people. She sees the journey of life, death and the struggle to survive after being transported to a cold, dark concentration camp only to see with her own two eyes the horrors and the grim reality of her people's fate. She bolsters everyone's spirits by telling them stories of the future, but soon must face a terrible sacrifice. What she learns only draws her closer to her family's heritage and to her Aunt Eva.
