Jewish Film Festival is a cultural event that advocates multicultural dialogue through all its segments and educates about the Jewish culture, Holocaust, tolerance and shared values, considering them to be the foundation of a happy coexistence in ethnically and religiously different environments. What makes this festival unique in the world is the commitment to the subject of the Holocaust and education of all generations, especially school children, through various lectures and workshops. The festival is dedicated to a certain subject every year, consequently, the theme of the third Jewish film festival was “Children - victims of the Holocaust and the wars”, and the theme of the fourth was “Righteous among the Nations”. In accordance with the theme, we formed a film program and all supporting facilities that followed the concept of the programme. The fifth Jewish Film Festival will be held from May 22 to May 28, 2011. The theme of the Festival will be “Women in the Holocaust” and it will be dedicated to all women who were forced to deal with the horrors of the World War II and survived relying upon their strength, courage and boldness.
