EVA’S PROMISE: Holocaust Doc Screening + Q&A with Director and Producer

On February 12, KI will host Emmy-winning director Steve McCarthy and producer Susan Kerner for the Boston premiere screening of their new film, Eva’s Promise, about a Holocaust survivor and her artist brother who perished in the camps.

On a train to Auschwitz, 15-year-old Eva made a promise to her older brother Heinz Geiringer. 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 Anne Frank’s 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, Eva’s Promise introduces Heinz, his artistry, and his sister’s efforts to find and share his remarkable legacy.  Q&A with Steve and Susan will follow the screening.
