 Felix Zandman”\nThis documentary tells the story of Dr. Felix Zandman\
 , a Holocaust survivor who became a known physicist and industrialist wh
 ose inventions created a revaluation in the electronically component ind
 ustry. Zandman was born in 1927 in Grodno\, then Poland\, and survived t
 he Holocaust in a secret hiding he shared with his uncle and 3 other Jew
 s for 17 months. During his hiding he was taught by his uncle\, an engin
 eer\, mathematics and physics. After the war he went to France and studi
 ed physics and engineering. In the early 60s he moved to the United Stat
 es and established Vishay co-operation. Some 39 patents are named after 
 his name. In Israel\, which he visits frequently\, he owns 6 companies. 
 The film that is divided to several parts\, each tells a different victo
 ry story\, explores Zandman’s exceptional story. Including archive foo
 tage\, family photos and interviews with Shimon Pertes and Ariel Sharon.
 \n\nMORE ABOUT\n“Spots of Light: To Be a Woman in the Holocaust”\nTh
 is exhibit explores the unique voice of Jewish women during the Holocaus
 t. It focuses on examining the position of women during the Holocaust an
 d the ways in which they coped with and responded to unforeseen situatio
 ns. The Nazi ideology viewed women as agents of fertility. This ideology
  identified the Jewish woman as an element that must be exterminated to 
 thwart the rise of future generations of Jews. For these reasons\, the N
 azis treated women as prime targets for annihilation. Jewish women inhab
 ited a society that was conservative and patriarchal\, with males as hea
 ds of household and women discharging traditional roles at home or helpi
 ng to make a living. Accordingly\, women did not participate in the lead
 ership that was tasked with shepherding the Jewish public during the Hol
 ocaust. Instead\, Jewish women assumed the main family role – the “a
 ffirmation of life”: the attempt to survive in any situation. Women in
  the Holocaust applied their minds to a place that deprived them of thei
 r minds\; brought strength to a place where they had no strength. And in
  a place where they and their families had no right to live\, they march
 ed all the way to death and invested every additional moment of life wit
 h meaning. It is these women’s voices that we wish to sound and whose 
 stories to tell.\nBrought to you in partnership with Congregation Ohav Z
 edek\, Friedman JCC\, Temple B’nai B’rith and Temple Israel\nPlease
