The Monster Among Us
Running Time: 125 mins.
English
with special guests, filmmakers Allen Mondell and Cynthia Salzman Mondell. Sponsors: Marion and Gerald Gendell.
The Monster Among Us is a film about the alarming rise of anti-Semitism in Europe and includes excerpts from almost 200 hours of footage shot in Germany, Hungary, France, England, Holland and Belgium. Anti-Semitism has surfaced on university campuses, in the media, on the streets, on the Internet, at political demonstrations and in seemingly innocent social situations.The Monster Among Us examines this wave of anti-Semitism against European Jews and their institutions, mainly from the point of view of those who have directly experienced the violence or live every day with the threat. In recent conversations with American Jews as well as non-Jews, it's surprising how many are uninformed about the problem.
The film will be followed by a panel discussion with Ed Wright, Director, UA Center for Judaic Studies; Sol Littman, former ADL Director; Josh Protas, JCRC Director; Bryan Davis, Holocaust Education Coordinator and the filmmakers.
Special thanks to both Marion and Gerald Gendell for their support of this program.
