A screening of the documentary “For the Living,” which follows the story of Holocaust survivor Marcel Zielinski, will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 3, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. on the ASU West Valley campus. The documentary is a discussion on how dehumanization and depersonalization lead to genocide, the need to cultivate compassion and empathy. It covers the Holocaust as well as other genocides throughout history.
The event is organized by the School of Humanities, Arts, and Cultural Studies at the ASU West Valley campus, along with the Phoenix Holocaust Association and the Greater Phoenix Jewish Film Festival. After the film, the organizers will host a talkback with both the co-director, Tim Roper, and co-producer Lisa Effress.
The event is free and open to the public, although there will be a $3 per hour charge for parking. Organizers say that the best lot to park in is lot 17 on the West campus, 4701 W. Thunderbird Road.
