In commemoration of the 78th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz, Density512 will screen our archival film of the Holocaust Remembrance opera Eva and the Angel of Death, premiered in April 2022. Written by composer Thomas B. Yee and librettist Aiden K. Feltkamp, the opera shares the powerful story of Auschwitz survivor Eva Mozes Kor. Eva, along with her twin sister Miriam, survived Dr. Josef Mengele’s medical experiments in Auschwitz. Fifty years after her liberation, Kor returned to Auschwitz to declare her forgiveness. Eva’s story explores the long-lasting psychological impact of trauma, processes of grief, and the potential for healing through forgiveness.
