Surviving Skokie / Eulogy of Pini Gurevich
SURVIVING SKOKIE
West Coast Premiere
Documentary/USA/2015/65 min
Director: Eli Adler
This riveting film centers on a series of dark days in small-town America that force a resilient group of Holocaust survivors to relive a devastating past. Eli Adlers deeply personal film follows the path of his father, Jack Adler, a Polish survivor of a concentration camp who built a life in Skokie, Illinois following the war. But the quiet existence of thousands of survivors is rocked to its core in the late 70s when a neo-Nazi group announces plans to march through town. The community comes together to confront these hate mongers.
