Important Video
This is a very important video which can be used as an effective tool to combat the anti-Israel, anti-American propaganda inherent in the entire flotilla strategy.

PBS production of The Diary of Anne Frank
THE JEWISH FEDERATIONS OF NORTH AMERICA TO SPONSOR PBS MASTERPIECE CLASSIC’S DIARY OF ANNE FRANK
The Jewish Federations of North America is proud to announce our exclusive sponsorship of a new PBS Masterpiece Classic production of The Diary of Anne Frank.
The two-hour PBS show will be broadcast on April 11, 2010 (Holocaust Memorial Day). This production represents the most accurate adaptation ever made of one of the world’s most widely read memoirs, drawing on Anne Frank’s own words to a greater extent than any previous dramatization. The young actress Ellie Kendrick, who appeared in the recent Oscar-nominated film An Education, stars as Anne Frank.
We are honored to have the Federation movement participate in this opportunity to bring the compelling – and important- story of Anne Frank to young people across the country. Data suggests that many young people are unaware of even basic details about the Holocaust. A 2008 survey found that a quarter of American teenagers were unable to correctly identify Hitler.
“It is critical that we help educate a new generation about the horrors of the Holocaust – so that we never forget what happened,” said Kathy Manning, Chair of the Board of Trustees of The Jewish Federations of North America. “This sponsorship also provides an excellent opportunity to promote the important work of our Federation movement to a significant audience.”
A 15-second on-air spot for The Jewish Federations will appear at the beginning and end of the broadcast. The Jewish Federations will also receive an online credit on the Masterpiece homepage and on all pages of The Diary of Anne Frank Web site, which will house extensive information about the film and the diary, along with many related activities designed to engage diverse audiences in this material, while also introducing them to the Federation movement.
The film will be streamed online for 30 days following the broadcast, with our sponsorship credit accompanying the online version. We will also be credited as a sponsor in other promotional materials, including PBS e-alerts encouraging audiences to tune in, and a PBS Webinar, downloadable teaching guide and related materials for teachers.
Masterpiece Theater is broadcast across the United States on Sunday evenings at 9 p.m.

Yom Hashoah Programs
On April 11th
“killing kasztner”
This is a documentary directed by Gaylen Ross who will be at this showing to
talk about her film. Rezso Israel Kasztner was a Jew in Hungary whose
negotiations with the Nazis during 1944-45 resulted in the rescue of hundreds of
thousands of Jews from extermination in Auschwitz. He saved a trainful of
inmates from Bergen Belsen, and brought them to freedom in Switzerland. Post
war, while in Israel, he was accused of being a collaborator and murdered in Tel Aviv.
This is a movie not to be missed.
