Canadian Movie Encore Presentation: There is Many Like Us
On January 11, CHW Montreal co-hosted an encore presentation of the film There Is Many Like Us with Montreal’s March of the Living (MOL). The film is set in World War II Poland as seen through the eyes of Montrealers Rena and the late Max Fronenberg. The collaboration with MOL was significant and gave us the opportunity to raise awareness for the important projects CHW supports. Sharing this gripping story with MOL participants proved invaluable to their learning experience. The Junior CIT’s of Y Country Camp were also in attendance; they too wanted to learn from Rena and Max’s story of survival and courage. Many thanks to the event chair Susan Bercovitch for all of her hard work and dedication. Her commitment and devotion to this project ensured that the program was both meaningful and successful. 74
