Lukas Pribyl - FORGOTTEN TRANSPORTS
The Mizel Museum is proud to be sponsoring the remarkable documentary series, Forgotten Transports, at the Starz Film Festival, November 6, 7, and 8. These amazing true accounts have been brought to the screen by Czech filmmaker Lukas Pribyl. These films explore the history of Czech Jews through their deportation to four lesser known communities and their ultimate experience of survival. The Mizel Museum is pleased to be part of Denver Arts Week in bringing this film to our city. Please contact the 2010 Starz Denver Film Festival for more information. |
