Private screenings have been held at several venues, including the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York City, JCC on the Palisades and Tenafly High School, New Jersey.
“60 years on is really professional quality, and goes far beyond my expectations. Narrowing the focus to a few individuals resulted in portraying how profoundly transformational this voyage was. I appreciate the use of historical documentary footage from the ‘30s and ‘40s. If film is the medium for our collective dreams, then the inter-cutting of the old images with the new takes us one step closer to what we have all been incapable of imagining: the real horror of the Umschlagplatz, the Warsaw Ghetto, Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Maybe in one hundred years some scholar researching the effects of the holocaust on subsequent generations will happen upon this film. It is a perfect record of history’s reverberation.”
“I haven't cried in 30 years, except at the death factories and each time I see 60 years on. Clive's gift to our children is a beautiful and powerful legacy that gives meaning to ‘never again!’”
“60 years on: from despair to joy provides a new and interesting point of view on one of the most significant moments in history. Seeing the perspective of the Holocaust through the next generation, as well as their first hand observations of Israel, provides a modern day reaction that every generation will connect with. This is an important film that every person, regardless of cultural connection, should see”.
“The movie was excellent. It prompted meaningful discussions with my teenage son and daughter“.
