ON-SITE FILM & DISCUSSION: “ADAM & IDA – ALMOST A FAIRY TALE”
December 4, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Orphaned and torn apart at the age of 3, twins Adam and Ida Paluch survived the Holocaust without knowing what had happened to each other. Adam endured life in a concentration camp and was later adopted. Ida evaded capture as a hidden child in Nazi-occupied-Poland. Both children were baptized, issued fake birth certificates with new names, and raised Catholic, but never forgot each other. Join us for the Midwest premiere of Adam & Ida, a remarkable film detailing two Survivors’ lifelong quest for belonging – a story told through interviews and stunning animations illustrating the lives and memories.
Film screening and Q&A with star and Museum Board Member Ida Kersz.
