Song of the Lodz Ghetto to premiere in Montreal on May 25

After an unexpectedly long delay, arrangements have finally been made to premiere Song of the Lodz Ghetto in Montreal. The screening is set for 7:30 p.m., on Wednesday, May 25, at the historic Outremont Theatre, at 1248 Bernard Ave. West. The screening is sponsored by KlezKanada, the festival of Yiddish music and culture, in association with the Jewish Public Library, the Montreal Holocaust Memorial Centre, and the Bronfman Israel Experience Centre. Tickets will be available May 2 and can be ordered in advance from the Outremont box office, by phone at 514-495-9944, or at the door.  As in Toronto, the film will be projected in high definition and I will be there to meet the audience after the showing. We also expect to have several of the Holocaust survivors who appeared in the film and others from the Montreal area at the screening.
