Manhattan Premiere of 'Triumph of the Spirit,' Documentary on Life of Holocaust Survivor, Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis, To Be Held During Jewish High Holidays, as Iranian President Ahmadinejad Addresses UN-General Assembly

Posted on: Tuesday, 15 September 2009, 06:00 CDT

NEW YORK, Sept. 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- During celebrations of the Jewish High Holidays, "Triumph of the Spirit," documentary featuring the life of acclaimed author and legendary holocaust survivor, Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis, will be shown at a red-carpet event at the Paris Theater, on Tuesday, 22 September 2009, 7 PM, in the heart of Manhattan, precisely in the City where Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who denounces the holocaust, will be attending and addressing the United Nations General Assembly.

While many have wondered how is it possible for anyone who survived the dense darkness and brutality of the Holocaust to emerge with complete faith in G-d, the testimonial given by Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis, founder and president of Hineni, www.hineni.org, the internationally renowned Jewish outreach organization, answers these and more questions in a new documentary on her experiences during the Holocaust years and beyond.

"Triumph of the Spirit" is an original 20-minute documentary serving as a testimonial to the resilience of the Jewish people and the power of faith in G-d during the genocide that defined the most horrific period in History. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHjHMF3Z4-s

Over the last four decades, thousands of assimilated and alienated Jews, bereft of any Jewish identity have been brought back to a more traditional life through the creative programs that Hineni, the organization headed by Rebbetzin Jungreis has established and is based in Manhattan and Jerusalem.

This must see film is replete with startling visuals that bring the Rebbetzin's words to life, as we see Holocaust era photos as well as videos of the Rebbetzin's trip to the graves of her ancestors in Hungary, decades after the war.

Fred Zeidman, chairman of the United States Holocaust Memorial, who has become a unifying figure in his organization for nearly eight years, will be rendered tribute on this occasion.

Paris Cinema will open its doors and will roll out the red carpet as it will welcome the First Lady of the worldwide Jewish Community, Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis and the "Triumph of the Spirit," as she bears witness to the Nazi horrors -praying it shall never happen again.
