Film Screening: “Etched in Glass: The Legacy of Steve Ross”

Join us for a free screening of  the documentary Etched in Glass: The Legacy of Steve Ross followed by a Q&A with the film’s director and co-producer, Roger Lyons. Etched in Glass is the compelling true story of a boy who endured 10 Nazi concentration camps over 5 horrific years, and grew up to help thousands of at-risk youth. After his liberation from the Dachau camp, Steve Ross came to America, worked his way to earn 3 college degrees and become a youth worker in the inner-city. Becoming a licensed psychologist for the city of Boston, Steve Ross helped young people stay in school, stay out of trouble and get good jobs. Steve Ross also went on to found the New England Holocaust Memorial, which was dedicated on October 22, 1995. 

Etched in Glass: The Legacy of Steve Ross was nominated for the Boston/New England Emmy Award for Outstanding Documentary, and won the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Rhode Island International Film Festival and the Boston Jewish Film Festival in 2017.
