SUMMARY:UnBroken Screening honoring the Weber Siblings' 80th Anniversary in America
DESCRIPTION:Screening of UnBroken followed by a Q&A with director Beth Lane\, moderated by Eva Fogelman\, PhD \n\n\n\nIn recognition of 80 years after their extraordinary journey to freedom\, the story of the seven Weber siblings — among the only known group of Jewish siblings to survive the Holocaust together — will be honored with a special commemorative screening of the award-winning documentary UnBroken in New York this May. \n\n\n\nUnbroken\, directed by Beth Lane. Provided.\n\n\n\nOn May 17\, 2026\, the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust and The Weber Family Arts Foundation will host a landmark screening of UnBroken alongside the descendants of the Weber siblings\, whose lives were forever shaped by war\, separation and resilience. This will be an historic homecoming in the city where their new lives in America began — just a few blocks from Pier 64\, where the first vessel to transport Holocaust survivors from Bremerhaven to the United States docked\, under President Truman’s December 1945 emergency directive. \n\n\n\nThe Weber siblings’ survival is nothing short of extraordinary. After losing their mother at Auschwitz\, the children were hidden for two years on a farm in Germany by Paula and Arthur Schmidt (Righteous Among the Nations)\, whose courage and humanity saved their lives. Bound by their father’s final instruction — to always stay together — the siblings endured unimaginable hardship before ultimately finding freedom and rebuilding their lives in America. Upon arrival at Pier 64\, newspapers across the country ran photographs of the Weber siblings\, one of which hangs in the final gallery of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington\, D.C. \n\n\n\n“This film is about the power of unity\, the courage to do what is right\, and the refusal to stand by in the face of injustice\,” said Filmmaker Beth Lane. “It’s a tribute not only to my family\, but to the individuals who risked everything to save them.” \n\n\n\nThe 80th anniversary events serve as both remembrance and celebration\, honoring the lives the siblings built in the United States and the legacy they pass on to future generations and honors Jewish American Heritge Month. \n\n\n\n“These gatherings are more than commemorations\,” Lane added. “They are a testament to survival\, to family\, and to the enduring belief that even in humanity’s darkest moments\, there is light. Our new Learning Guide\, developed with Journeys in Film\, offers learners the opportunity to exercise their muscles of empathy and compassion.” \n\n\n\n\n\nUnBroken Official Trailer
