Join Holocaust Museum Houston and the Evelyn Rubenstein Jewish Community Center, in tandem with the Houston Jewish Film Festival, for a screening of the film Love Gets a Room.
Warsaw Ghetto, 1942. Surrounded by starvation, cold, and threatening Nazis, one dilapidated theater is alive with Jewish actors and musicians putting on a musical comedy for a full house. As the play-within-a-film unfolds both on stage and off, Stefcia must decide whether to abandon her current love to attempt a risky escape from the ghetto. Featuring excerpts from Jerzy Jurandot’s play, Love Looks for an Apartment, which was performed by Jews in the ghetto, this award-winning film offers insight into a little-known aspect of life in the Warsaw ghetto.
Prior to the screening will be a short reception sponsored by the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Houston. Including opening remarks by Polish Consul General Monika Sobczak.
