Dear Mr. Waldman
Wednesday, April 2 • 07:30 PM • Leon & Toby Cooperman JCC
This coming-of-age film beautifully captures the peculiarities of growing up amid the emotional wreckage of the Holocaust in midcentury Tel Aviv. The fragile equilibrium of Hilik’s new life in Israel is disturbed when his father convinces himself that his son from his first marriage didn’t actually die in Auschwitz, but miraculously escaped to America.
