The Weight of Memory — Film Screening at HMTC

"Powerful!" "Profound!" "Transformative!"

Join us for a powerful screening of The Weight of Memory: I Am Bernie Furshpan, an award-winning documentary that brings history into sharp focus through one family’s story—and challenges us to stand up to hate with courage and empathy. This is essential viewing for students, educators, and community members committed to remembrance and action.

Why attend

  • A gripping, human story that turns “Never Again” from a slogan into a responsibility

  • Perfect for classrooms, families, and community leaders

  • Inspires meaningful conversation about tolerance, activism, and hope

A Q&A will follow the film screening with Bernie and Filmmaker Christiane Arbesu
