Heartland Film Festival 2018: ‘Eva’ shows the redemptive power of forgiveness from someone who has every right not to give it

by Jeremy Rogers For the 2018-19 school year, most high school seniors were born in 2000 or 2001. This means that the incoming class of college freshmen will be the first higher education class to have a substantial number of students born after the events of Sept. 11, 2001.  With this set of circumstances, these people will not likely have the strong emotional ties to the event that others who were alive during the event have. For many who want to keep the memory of 9/11 alive in the collective consciousness of Americans everywhere, this presents new challenges. Similarly, the people who were youngest during the second World War and the Holocaust are dying, with those who were children during WWII reaching their 80s. This being the case, it is important to make accounts of the Holocaust and to hear the stories of survivors.
