When Elie Wiesel was born in 1928 the town belonged to Romania, after 1940 then to Hungary, but now it’s again a Romanian town. Life goes on in Sighet, the same buildings are still there but for Wiesel this normalcy is a lie; for the inhabitants he knew have vanished before their time and he realizes that he cannot ‘return’.
The aim of the MHM Film Club is to view and discuss films about the Holocaust, other genocides and human rights issues. Monthly film screenings are followed by guest speakers and informal discussion.
