Honoring Yom HaShoah — Holocaust Remembrance Day

 

In Honor of Yom HaShoah — Holocaust Remembrance Day, 2021, we have curated a group of video interviews and stories from the ArtSpeak archives.

ArtSpeak is an arts publication platform sponsored by Florida International University’s College of Communication, Architecture + The Arts (CARTA), in the School of Communication + Journalism. ArtSpeak is currently offered as a website (http://ArtSpeak.fiu.edu), where we continuously publish content about all art disciplines; as a periodic e-Magazine that can be read on iPads and iPhones and can be installed through the Apple APP Store; and accessible online through Digital Commons, an open access publishing and archival platform supported by FIU Libraries. Contributors to ArtSpeak are a blend of FIU students, faculty, and a network of talented people who regularly appear in some of the best publications in the world. ArtSpeak supports CARTA’s mission by providing a platform and process for FIU students to critically examine and comment upon the art communities and activities of South Florida, and have the opportunity to publish their work alongside professional writers who are regularly published in The New Yorker, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times.

A Call to Remember: The David Schaecter Story

 

A Call to Remember: The David Schaecter Story is a beautifully crafted, completely engaging movie, written, produced, and directed by Ken Winikur along with producers Michael Berenbaum and Dennis Scholl.  The heart and soul of the movie is the compelling eyewitness testimony of DAVID SCHAECTER, who is an excellent story-teller, vividly recreating scenes from his youth in great detail, with restrained self-evident emotion.
