Honoring RICH FELDMAN, JANICE FIALKA, ARLENE J. FRANK with the Besere Veit Award BENEFIT CONCERT followed by light refreshments "I had expected to be horrified. But once inside the cattle pen, I felt a sense of relief. Don't think I have the soul of a slave! Now I was surrounded by oth- ers who shared my fate. No more being paraded in the street like a horse." Shot in black and white, without a note of music, The Last Letter is both spare and poetic. It is a eulogy for one's self and a plea to be remembered, but it is also a blessing handed down from mother to son. Shortly before the Nazis liquidate the ghetto, in one of the few sorrowful passages in the film, she mourns, "I see that this world will disappear. Life will begin again after the war, but we will have disappeared. Just like the Aztecs." Then she reiterates her love for Vitya, and her unending pride. Now it is up to him to carry on her legacy of decency; culture and courage. The Last Letter had a two-week run at a Manhattan theater in 2003 and screened at a few Jewish film festivals around the country, including Detroit's JCC Lenore Marwil Jewish Film Festival in 2003, where it won the Harold and Sarah Gottlieb Prize for Contributions to Jewish Culture. The PBS broadcast will reach a much larger audience, and it deserves to be seen by as many people as possi- ble. It is simply stunning. ❑ Zn4 aa atn5 p-rn.
