Close out GradCon 2022 with a documentary screening & rooftop reception!

Light House Studio at Vinegar Hill Theatre

Słabe Jajko, a documentary by Eyal Handelsman Katz When Savta (Hebrew for Grandma) agreed to have a biographer help her write her life story in 2015 she did so because she recognized the importance of passing on her memories to future generations. This was not the first time she did something like this, having submitted testimony pages - twice, once in 1957, and again in 1999 - to the Yad Vashem Holocaust Remembrance Center. Each page documented how one of 26 members of her family were killed during the Shoah. Out of the 26 painful stories, 25 remained consistent from 1957 to 2015. But one was different.Setting out to understand how one memory can change, disappearing and reappearing across time, Słabe Jajko is a short documentary that explores the memories of a Holocaust survivor through the eyes of the very people that she remembered for: her family. Event description: Documentary screening by UVA English PhD student, Eyal Handelsman Katz, followed by a conversation between Eyal and Caroline Rody, Professor of English, UVa, author of The Daughter’s Return: African-American and Caribbean Women’s Fictions of History and The Interethnic Imagination: Roots and Passages in Contemporary Asian American Fiction.The screening will be followed by a rooftop reception at the theater from 7-8 PM.
