Through Children’s Eyes

🎬 Through Children’s Eyes: Exclusive Premiere Screening

This is more than a film screening—it’s a call to remember, to reflect, and to honor the enduring power of art and memory. Join us, and bear witness Through Children’s Eyes.

Experience the power of the film — watch the trailer. 👇.

 

🎥 Sunday, November 9, 2025
🕓 4:00 PM
📍 Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza, Scherr Forum Theater

Join us for the premiere of Through Children’s Eyes—a moving documentary concert that brings to life the poetry and drawings of children imprisoned in the Terezin (Theresienstadt) concentration camp.

Set to an original score by Cantor David Shukiar and filmed on location in Terezin and the historic Attic Theatre, this film is a tribute to the creativity, resilience, and spirit of young lives lost too soon.

✨ Stay after the screening for a behind-the-scenes conversation with: ✨

  • Cantor David Shukiar, Composer
  • Mark Saltzman, Librettist
  • Steven Shapiro, Executive Producer

Experience an in-depth discussion exploring the extraordinary journey behind the film, from the emotional path that led them to Terezin, to the unexpected miracles that opened doors once thought closed, and the deeply personal process of transforming children’s words and drawings into music.

This behind-the-scenes conversation offers a rare glimpse into a project born of remembrance, reverence, and hope.
