Description
Eva's Promise is a moving new documentary from filmmakers Susan Kerner and Steve McCarthy. On a train to Auschwitz, 15-year-old Eva made a promise to her older brother Heinz. If he did not survive the camps, Eva promised to retrieve the paintings and poetry Heinz hid under the floorboards of his attic hiding place. Heinz Geiringer’s story sits in the shadow of the better-known The Diary of a Young Girl. After the war, Eva became the posthumous stepsister of Anne Frank when her mother married Anne’s father. While the world knows Anne’s story, this film introduces Heinz, his artistry, and his sister’s efforts to find and share his remarkable legacy. Legacy Theatre is proud to present the CT Premiere of this important film, followed by a talkback with Kerner.
Eva's Promise plays at Legacy Theatre in Branford, CT on Thursday, March 21 at 7pm. Tickets are on sale now at https://www.legacytheatrect.org/evas-promise or through the Box Office at (203) 315-1901.
