Auschwitz: Never Again (Trip to Poland)

Abstract

In August 1986, an interfaith Catholic-Jewish delegation was led by Boston's Bernard Cardinal Law on a tour of Poland (styled a pilgrimage) in remembrance of the Holocaust. In this video, participants provide remarks remembering the victims of the Holocaust, interspersed with historical imagery and narration, and are featured at a Auschwitz-Birkenau ceremony. Sonia Weitz (Holocaust Center of the North Shore) is shown providing remarks at the Auschwitz ceremony and at Krakow (red dress and glasses). Other remarks are shown given by Leonard Zakim (Anti-Defamation League) and Cardinal Law. This television program was shown as a mass replacement, November 11, 1986, on Boston Catholic TV.
