"Only one thing could have stopped our movement - if our adversaries had understood its principle and from the first day had smashed with the utmost 
 brutality the nucleus of our movement".   Adolf Hitler, 1933.
 



On the 31st of January, Haringey Independent Cinema will be showing two films to commemorate Holocaust memorial Day - 'The 43 Group' and 'KZ'. 

Morris Beckman, one of the founder members of the 43 Group, will be coming along to give a talk about his experiences of organizing against fascism at street level.
 


The 43 Group. UK, 2000, 25mins.

In 1945, after risking their lives for King and country, and with an increasing awareness of what had happened in the death camps, Jewish ex-servicemen and women had every right to believe they had buried fascism for ever. Oswald Mosely decided he could carry on where Hitler and Mussolini had left off. On street corners his fascist speakers would proclaim 'not enough Jews were burned at Belsen!' Something had to be done. Enter the 43 Group, a direct action and street-based organisation that waged a ferocious, yet brilliantly covert campaign against the Mosleyites and everything they stood for. Required and inspirational anti-fascist viewing.
 


KZ. Director, Rex Bloomstein. UK, 2006, 97mins.

When the story of the unspeakable has been told a thousand times, when the images of the unimaginable have been shown a thousand times, when the mind is numb - where do you go from there? You have to start anew. That is where this film begins. On the banks of the river Danube, surrounded by the beautiful landscape of Upper Austria lies the picturesque town of Mauthausen. Two kilometres from its town centre is a place that attracts busloads of tourists, parties of schoolchildren, people from all over the world. Tour guides come to work here everyday while nearby the locals go about their daily lives. This is a place where thousands upon thousands of people from over 30 nations were tortured and murdered. How does it feel to be a tourist at a former concentration camp? How does it feel to work here as a guide, day in day out? How does it feel to live here as a local with the dark secrets of the past? And what of those who've chosen this town to be their new home?

It's Burns night at the end of January and to mark the occasion, The Kids Collective are screening some contemporary Scottish Animation including Chris Ellingford's award winning re-working of Burn's poem Tam O'Shanter. Robert Burns, or Rabbie as he was known, was the son of a poor farmer and was born in Alloway, a windswept village in the South West of Scotland, on January 25th, 1759. He became a farmer too and despite his success as a poet, remained one almost all his life. The farmers' hard way of life and his direct contact with the earth and the people who worked it, taught Burns to take joy in fleeting pleasures and to despise the moral codes of the rich and the powerful. These attitudes, along with his capacity for love, friendship and fellowship provide the chief themes of his poetry. 
 
Please feel free to wear your favourite tartan for a morning of Scottish animation, culture and fun.
 
 
The Kid's Collective is a voluntary, community organisation showing films for children aged 4 - 11. Sorry, no unaccompanied adults.
