Join us for an in-person screening of Nathan-ism, a film by Elan Golod, at the Yiddish Book Center. At the end of World War II, Nathan Hilu, the son of Syrian Jewish immigrants to New York, received a life-changing assignment from the U.S. Army: to guard the top Nazi war criminals at the Nuremberg trials. This experience fueled a lifetime of artistic inspiration for Nathan, a virtually unknown “outsider artist,” who spent the next 70 years obsessively creating a visual narrative from his memories. Nathan-ism explores Nathan's relationship with his own stories, and the compulsion he has to share them with a world that doesn't always listen.
