This powerful documentary film follows Zev Godinger, a Jewish ice cream man of the Carpathian Mountains, as he returns to his birthplace for the first time since he was deported to Auschwitz in 1944. Written and directed by klezmer musician and author Yale Strom, Carpati shows the rich history of the Jewish culture that once thrived in the Carpathian region (then in Czechoslovakia, today Ukraine) through Zev's journey full of childhood memories and a mission to bring a Torah to his childhood synagogue.
Director Yale Strom will be lead the discussion following the film viewing.
