Details

Join us for the U.S. premiere of "The Girl with the Golden Hair." This powerful documentary follows Malte Herwig’s search to uncover the story behind a haunting WWII photograph that was in his grandfather’s possession. Herwig, who has published seven books, is a famed literary and political writer and interviewer. His grandfather, a gold medalist in the Los Angeles Olympics, served the German army, occupying Poland at the start of the war in 1939. The screening will be followed by a conversation and reception. This event is in conjunction with poet-musician-activist Grzegorz Kwiatkowski’s residency with the Cheuse Center & Mason Exhibitions. Kwiatkowski and Herwig’s works overlap in ways that will make for a stimulating conversation. 

Admission is free, but please RSVP.
