(In English)

Library of Congress, Pickford Theater
Madison Building, 3rd Floor
An Article of Hope tells the inspiring story of Ilan Ramon, the first Israeli
astronaut. Ramon was one of the seven crew members who perished in the Space
Shuttle Columbia accident. Among the items he took to space was a tiny Torah
scroll smuggled into Bergen-Belsen, a Nazi concentration camp, during the
Holocaust, and safeguarded by Joachim Joseph, a Holocaust survivor. To Ramon,
the Torah was to be shared with the world as a symbol of survival.
This award-winning documentary presents a unique story that interweaves the
heights of scientific achievement, the depths of a nation's cruelty, the
private grief of a boy who came of age during the Holocaust, and the public
mourning of many nations in the aftermath of the Shuttle disaster. Film
director Dan Cohen will be present to discuss the film following the screening.
Event is free and open to the public
