The Holocaust Center will mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day with a screening of the French drama Korkoro. Korkoro (“Alone” in the Romanes) tells the story of a Romani family trying to evade the Nazis while traveling through France. It has been described as a “rare cinematic tribute” to those killed in the Porajmos, or the Romani genocide by the Nazis during World War II. The event will include a discussion with an expert on the Romani experience.

Tickets are $10, free for Holocaust survivors and students with valid ID.
