Among Neighbors (2025, dir. Yoav Potash)
Wednesday, November 4, 6:00-8:00 PM, 360 Journalism Building
Blending first-person testimony with evocative hand-drawn animation, this documentary follows a Holocaust survivor and an eyewitness to wartime violence as they recount their experiences during World War II and its aftermath. Their stories uncover the hidden history of a small Polish town, offering a powerful reflection on memory, responsibility, and the lasting impact of violence on individuals and communities.
Co-sponsored by the Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures, the Melton Center for Jewish Studies, the Polish Club at Ohio State and the Polish Studies Initiative.
