Let’s face it, a lot of Holocaust programming is a downer.  Especially when it comes to films, who hasn’t sat through a long, heavy-handed historical documentary only to go home depressed and fearful? But there is an alternative.

If you want a Yom Hashoah program that…

1. •Has a positive overall message, with no dead bodies
   

2. •Is appropriate for either adults or teens
   

3. •Is program-friendly in length; run-time is 50 minutes
   

4. •Comes with easy-to-use promotional materials that ensure a successful turnout
   

5. •Features an original soundtrack of amazing, contemporary music
   

6. •Is affordable
   

…then read on about the critically-acclaimed film, Higher Fences.

When it comes to Yom Hashoah, today’s Jewish communities are yearning for programs that are not only more sensitive to today’s issues, but frankly, more optimistic and hopeful.

“Higher Fences” is a film that dares to cover this new ground. Made in 2007 it follows the surprising journey of one Buchenwald survivor and his immediate family as they visit Poland and Germany on the 60th anniversary of liberation.  Along the way they are helped by local people in unanticipated ways, and discover that things are not always as they seem.

Almost everyone can relate to setting out to do one thing, and along the way discovering something completely different. At its heart, “Higher Fences” is a story about people who experience exactly this type of personal transformation.

This film will leave your community feeling mindful of the past, but still hopeful about the future. Watching it, your community will experience emotions ranging from solemnity to surprise  -- even moments of deep pride in Israel. As the credits roll, typically the room is perfectly silent, but when the lights come up the range of discussion is amazing.

Sounds good so far, right? But keep reading, because there’s more…
