SWC Re-Releases "Liberation" In Conjunction With The 60th Anniversary Of The Liberation Of The Concentration Camps

SWC RE-RELEASES"LIBERATION" IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE 60th ANNIVERSARY OF THE LIBERATION OF THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS

"There were no happyhopes of reunion for us. Only tears, tears that were stored away from the moment of our arrival in Auschwitz now poured down our sunken cheeks. Only now did we have time to think of our dear ones who hadperished, who were no longer here to see our hour of liberation and join with us in what could have been the happiest days of our lives."
- story of Holocaust survivor SimchaBunen Unsdorfer as read by Sir Ben Kingsley in Liberation

"Chilling…" wrote the Los Angeles Times of Liberation, the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s documentary film narrated by Sir Ben Kingsley, WhoopiGoldberg, and Patrick Stewart, that recounts the liberation of Europe and Hitler's death camps by the Allies during World War II.

Now available for purchase, Liberation's re-release coincideswith the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe, where today, antisemitism has once again reached levels unseen since Europe's liberation fromthe Nazis sixty years ago.

Interweaving personal narratives of unforgettable stories of tragedy, courage, resistance, and survival of the Jews of Europe with the story of the Allied campaign toliberate Europe and Adolf Hitler’s genocidal war against the Jews, Liberation reveals the inescapable and sobering reality that while Hitler was losing the war onthe Allied Front, the Nazis were winning their war on the Jews and other innocent victims. The film reaches its climax with the dramatic liberation of Paris, theBenelux countries, and the death camps, through to VE Day.

Screened at the 1995 Berlin International Film Festival and the Deauville Festival of American Cinema in France among others, it was selected by the State ofIsrael as its official film commemorating the 50th anniversary of VE Day.
