fp Turks and Caicos

This once in a lifetime evening, is free and open to the public with a screening of the award-winning film Schindler’s List from 2pm - 5:15pm followed by Finder’s moving talk; seating begins at 6 p.m.

The program is a project of the Provo Jewish Community and its sponsors including: Fortis TCI, Beaches, Amanyara, Butterfield Gold, Grace Bay Car Rental, Gansevoort and Parrot Cay.

“We are truly happy to partner with the Ministry of Education and Mrs. Wigglesworth from Collegiate to ensure high school students would not only be a part of this important moment, but to also become better acquainted with one of the more tragic stories in history,” explains Rabbi Sholom Bluming from the Provo Jewish community, Mrs Finder will talk separately for the High Schools on Wednesday the 6th of February.

Rena Finder was but a child herself, a mere 10 years old when she and her family were captured by Nazis. As one of the remaining survivors of the Holocaust, Mrs. Finder shares what it felt like as she watched her family torn apart by hate and ignorance. What it was like to lose her father, to be tortured – along with her mother - for nearly a year and then to be rescued by a German industrialist named Oskar Schindler whose bravery inspired the 7-time Academy Award-winning Steven Spielberg film Schindler's List.

In a recent interview, Rena Finder shared: “We as a people have not learned. The biggest crime is not so much hate but indifference. Every single one of us has the power to participate, the power to help another person, the power to intervene when we see an injustice done.”

This is the first time she will tell her inspiring story of survival in The Turks and Caicos Islands.

“Again, we would like to thank our sponsors who have made it possible to present the event without charge, but seating is limited and guests are asked to arrive early.”
