High School Students Learn Lessons of Holocaust from Survivor, Film Screening at CSE
(l – r) College of Saint Elizabeth President Sr. Francis Raftery welcomes Holocaust survivor Pinchas Gutter, along with Dr. Harriet Sepinwall, CSE professor of Education and co-director of the CSE Holocaust Education Resource Center, and Pablo Gonzalez from Parsippany High School.
Mr. Gutter was one of two Holocaust survivors to be interviewed by Danish filmmaker Jon Bang Carlson in his film, “Purity Beats Everything,” which was shown at the College of Saint Elizabeth on Wednesday and Thursday, March 12 & 13, 2008. The film delves deep into the layers underlying Nazism’s purity ideals, traces of which, the filmmaker contends, still exist today. (Photo by Courtney Smolen)
