The Last Days premiered across the country in the spring and set in 1944 tells the story of the time when the Nazis knew they had lost the war but continued to push and advanced troops into Hungary in order to eliminate Jews. The makers of The Last Days personalized that grim story by telling the story of the five Jews as they recalled their childhoods, their imprisonments, the deaths of friends and family, and their ultimate release, against all odds, into a free world. In keeping with Spielberg's vision, the Foundation has created and continues to develop the technology to make visual histories accessible in ways never before imagined. The showing at Hobart and William Smith Colleges is part of the series which continues to provide guest lectures, in addition to art and the performing art, films, and readings. Michael Dobkowski, professor of religious studies at HWS and an expert in the Holocaust, has organized the series.
