The screening starts at 7 p.m. and is free and open to the public. Seating is limited on first-come-first-serve basis. The theater is located at 6731 Fallbrook Avenue in West Hills.

The award-winning documentary captures the "proper" wedding of Helma and Benno Schneider, survivors of the Riga ghetto and two concentration camps. Their children, Sascha Schneider and Lauren Zemelman Schneider, record their story and its effect on subsequent generations.

"The film sheds light on the experience of the second generation children of Holocaust survivors as well as the experience of the survivors. The children are trying to carry on the parents' memory as well as trying to live a normal life," said Jody Myers, the event's coordinator and director of CSUN's Jewish Studies program.

The documentary, which has not been screened in Los Angeles since 1994, will highlight how American Jews incorporate the holocaust experience into their identity and into their family life, how pain and trauma are transmitted over the generations, and how the trauma heals over the generations.

The also event will include a ceremony for Holocaust Remembrance Day and will conclude with a question and answer session with the movie's producers and subjects. "The audience will get a chance to talk to the survivors. It's important for people to talk directly to the survivors. We won't have that opportunity much longer," Myers said.
