We cannot learn from history if its most painful truths are erased. Award-winning documentary @amongneighbors by @YoavPotash breaks decades of silence around compassion, betrayal and murder in postwar Poland—told through testimony, animation and magical realism. Now streaming on Prime Video and Apple TV: amongneighbors.com

At 4:20 pm today on the @RodandGregShow on @1059KNRS - @YoavPotash, a Holocaust expert, documentarian and director of the film “Among Neighbors,” joins the program for a conversation about America’s chilling embrace and normalization of antisemitism one year after the killing of two Israeli embassy staffers.

Among Neighbors just won a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award from @Kennedy_HRC.
Launched in 1969, the RFK Journalism Awards honor work that explores human rights, social justice, and the power of individual action -- the most prestigious award the film has received to date.
LA Premiere of my new film @amongneighbors this coming Monday! Come see it or tell your LA friends!
Thanks to an important new grant from @SFJewishFilm my film is in @Variety variety.com/2023/film/festiv… Thanks also @jstorypartners @HolocaustJFCS @ClaimsCon @KoretFoundation @TaubePhilanthro @TheJDC
Chris Rock’s joke was in bad taste but Will Smith’s reaction was way outta line. Smith took the low road & clearly has personal work to do. His speech later was very moving but his apology was to the Academy, not to Chris Rock. And not to the world who saw him normalize violence.

It’s really great that so many Republican lawmakers are denouncing what happened today. But they are conveniently ignoring the fact that they enabled Trump for the past four years, setting the stage for exactly what happened today.
My project @DiaryFilm has been awarded a @NEHgov grant. I’m humbled to receive their help in revealing this long-lost Holocaust diary to the world––and @nytimes included the project in its coverage of NEH grants. nytimes.com/2020/04/07/arts/…
