Preserve rare childhood Holocaust stories

My name is Joe Brin, Filmmaker/Artist/Director of Cyclorama Films, a nonprofit founded to preserve Jewish life stories on film, promoting greater understanding between people, Jewish and non-Jewish -- celebrating our common humanity, engaging audiences' imagination through artistic excellence.

A String of Pearls: The Small Miracles of Charles Middleberg, our first production, is a moving collection of storytelling gems...or pearls, the extraordinary childhood memories of a survivor now in his nineties. With charm, passion, wit and exceptionally sharp recall, you will be drawn into Charles' childhood stories based in WWII occupied Paris. One viewer described feeling emotions she'd never felt before...

Your contribution(s) will directly support the essential work of our film team including our current push to bring a French-subtitled edition of the film to Paris!

Preserve these rare wartime childhood remembrances for future generations. Not to forget!

A STRING OF PEARLS recalls a childhood of soaring joy, plunged into abject terror.

A world is evoked with striking, hand-cut silhouettes, narrated by the survivor himself, a buoyant, unwavering optimist, now in his nineties.
