Food & Film at TCS presents: WATERMARKS
Saturday, October 13th at 6pm
This is the story of the champion women swimmers of the legendary Jewish sports club, Hakoah Vienna. Founded in 1909 in response to the notorious Aryan Paragraph, which forbade Austrian sports clubs from accepting Jewish athletes. In the 1930s Hakoah's best-  known triumphs came from its women swimmers, who dominated national competitions in Austria. After the Anschluss in 1938, the Nazis shut down the club, but the swimmers all managed to flee the country before the war broke out. Told by the swimmers, now in their 80s, the chronicle is about a group of young girls with a passion to be the best. It is the saga of seven outstanding athletes who still swim daily as they age with grace. Above all, it is a celebration of life.
BONUS: After the film, one of the Swimmers will be at TCS for a Q&A Session!!

AFTER AUSCHWITZ
Award Winning Documentary
AFTER AUSCHWITZ is a "Post-Holocaust" documentary that follows six extraordinary
women starting the day they left the concentration camp, capturing what it means to move f
rom tragedy and trauma towards life. These women all moved to Los Angeles, married, raised children and became "Americans" but they never truly found a place to call home. They serve as our guides on an unbelievable journey, sometimes celebratory, sometimes heartbreaking but always inspiring.
