    Basch, a 95-year-old resident of Prescott, has been dubbed “the Honey Girl of Auschwitz.” Her unique story tells a journey of horrific atrocities and the beauty of forgiveness. Her powerful tale captivates audiences of all kinds. She shares her genuine, universal love of humankind that helped her survive her own nightmare, in a poignant way to motivate others.

    Basch grew up in Czechoslovakia and was sent to Auschwitz in a cattle car on her 16th birthday. After she met Max, one of the American soldiers who liberated her camp, she was motivated to tell her story about forgiveness of the Nazis. Since that time, Basch has given public talks nationwide, which led to the production of “The Honey Girl Documentary” that enabled her to tell her story globally. She has turned her personal commitment to forgiveness into a public act, hoping to transform society on issues of hate and prejudice.

    Organizers have expressed their great excitement for this historic event.

    “As the Holocaust wanes in our collective memory and many survivors pass on, it is so important to amplify and preserve the first-hand recounts of survivors,” Rabbi Mendel Kessler shared. “A tremendous thanks to the Sedona Film Festival for partnering with us in this event which will surely bring an added awareness to the many forms of hate experienced in our society and will have great educational value to the community.”

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
