St. Francis College to welcome Maestro Murry Sidlin and Holocaust survivor and painter Fred Terna
St. Francis College will welcome Maestro Murry Sidlin and Holocaust survivor and painter Fred Terna to watch scenes from “Defiant Requiem,” the Emmy-nominated documentary film for which Sidlin composed the music, and discuss Terna’s experiences during the Holocaust and how it has impacted his artwork, on Monday, April 25. The event will take place at 12:20 p.m. in the college’s Maroney Forum for Arts, Culture & Education (180 Remsen St. in Brooklyn Heights).
“Defiant Requiem” illuminates the extraordinary untold story of the brave acts of resistance by the Jewish prisoners at Terezín who learned and sang the Verdi Requiem as an act of survival and defiance against their Nazi captors.
