MOVIE House at Dublin Road in Belfast will be screening the locally made 2005 BBC documentary From Belfast to Dachau next week in recognition of Holocaust Memorial Day.
This free event at 6.30pm on Wednesday January 24 is presented in association with DoubleBand Films and The Holocaust Memorial Day Trust (HMDT) and will be attended by the subject of the documentary, Teddy Dixon.
Belfast-raised Teddy fought in France and Germany during the Second World War as a Rifleman in the US Army's 42nd Infantry Rainbow Division and was one of the first Allies to enter the notorious Dachau concentration camp in 1945.
Still haunted by what he witnessed that day, From Belfast to Dachau accompanies Teddy as he is re-united with his fellow servicemen and returns to Dachau for the first time.
The film will be followed by a discussion with Teddy Dixon and From Belfast to Dachau film-maker Dermot Lavery.
It will also be preceded by a short film on behalf of the Holocaust Memorial Trust called A Stranger Smiled at Me, telling the story of how Walter Kammerling fled from Nazi-occupied Austria to a farm near Millisle in Co Down.
:: Free tickets can be sourced in advance from the Movie House box office, tickets on the night will be available on a first come first served basis. See Moviehouse.co.uk for further information
