Special Announcement
SCGS Becomes a Partner of the Famous Newport Beach Film Festival


 Newport Beach Film Festival | April 25-May 2
The Southern California Genealogical Society’s Genealogy Jamboree turns 50 and the Newport Beach Film Festival is celebrating its 20th year. SCGS is proud to be one of its non-profit partners.

Celebrated as one of the leading lifestyle film festivals in the United States, and attracting 50,000 film & food fans in 2018, NBFF seeks to bring Orange County the best of contemporary filmmaking from over 50 countries all around the world.

The Film Festival opens Thursday, April 25, 2019 and runs through Thursday May 2, 2019
Two films in particular may be of interest to SCGS members. 
Film 1: You Only Die Twice
Monday April 29, 8.30 pm Theater 
The Lot 3 in Fashion Island, Newport Beach

Yair Lev, an Israeli documentarist, turns to a detective and sets on a personal and historical journey to uncover the true identity of the man who stole his grandfather's identity during WWII. With the help of documents found in archives, letters and family photos revealed suddenly in drawers - objects that time had forgotten - the filmmaker leads this hectic search to unique locations and remarkable people from the two sides of the historical fence with which the enigma is finally solved.


Film 2: Who Will Write Our History? 
Thursday May 2 Lido Theater, Newport Beach

From the filmmakers website https://whowillwriteourhistory.com: 
In November 1940, days after the Nazis sealed 450,000 Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto, a secret band of journalists, scholars and community leaders decided to fight back. Led by historian Emanuel Ringelblum and known by the code name Oyneg Shabes, this clandestine group vowed to defeat Nazi lies and propaganda not with guns or fists but with pen and paper. 
Now, for the first time, their story is told as a feature documentary. Written, produced and directed by Roberta Grossman and executive produced by Nancy Spielberg, Who Will Write Our History mixes the writings of the Oyneg Shabes archive with new interviews, rarely seen footage and stunning dramatizations to transport us inside the Ghetto and the lives of these courageous resistance fighters. They defied their murderous enemy with the ultimate weapon–the truth–and risked everything so that their archive would survive the war, even if they did not.
