Sold Out! Standing Room Only! You absolutely filled this room to the brim.
THANK YOU for coming to the premiere of our film “How Saba Kept Singing” at the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia.
I don’t how to express all the feelings, there were so many – but just know that every laugh, every tear, every gasp, every sigh, I felt it right alongside you, and it meant the world to be able to share that with you. I have never felt a room so full of love and intention.
This documentary about my grandfather’s survival is so important to me and my family – and to be in the room with all of you, with you who know us and you who have been following this journey I’ve been on with my Saba, this was the perfect way to celebrate this film ahead of its nation-wide release.
I can’t wait to hear your reactions, what has landed with you, what you took away. Let’s keep talking, and let’s keep telling the story. This is only the beginning.
You are invited to the Philly Premiere of How Saba Kept Singing
Many of you know that I performed with my grandfather for many years before he passed away. One of the last trips we took together was to Poland in 2020 to perform one last time. That journey has now been turned into an amazing feature documentary, and I’d like to invite you to come see it!
“HOW SABA KEPT SINGING” will have a theater screening (APR 13) in Philadelphia, in advance of a TV premiere (*edited for time) on PBS! (APR 18)
The feature documentary follows our Wisnia family as we recently travelled back to Poland with my grandfather David, my “Saba,” and reveals the many ways he survived the Holocaust. Not only does the film tell my late grandfather’s incredible story, it also incorporates music by Saba and me, including a song he wrote while a prisoner in Auschwitz which I translated into English.
I hope you will join me and my family at this hometown screening, and help us spread the word about the film so that everyone can hear my grandfather’s story.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Sara Taksler and Avi Wisnia, David’s grandson. The Q&A will end with a special musical performance from Avi. All in attendance are invited to a casual post-film reception with the Wisnia family, including wine and food to celebrate the end of Passover. *This film screening is likely to sell out, advance reservations recommended.*
For those unable to attend the Philly Premiere, you can catch it on PBS TV just a few days later. The documentary will air on Yom HaShoah – Holocaust Remembrance Day, Tuesday April 18 at 10pm ET /9pm CT in the United States (check your local listings).
How To Watch: Download the PBS app on your phone, tablet, or TV streaming device and access programs with PBS Passport. Check local listings for broadcast details in your area as times may vary. Read more at: https://www.pbs.org/show/how-saba-kept-singing/
