🎬 Through Children’s Eyes: Exclusive Premiere Screening
🕓 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
They will lead 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.
