Copenhagen Jewish Film Festival brings history, awareness and attention to your homes, into the auditoriums, and into the classrooms.

Welcome to tough but true stories about man and politics.

We must never forget. We must remember to learn.
We have to learn to change.

History is our core tool for understanding who we are and where our values come from. We live in an uncertain and complex world. Enemy images and exclusion do not just belong to other cultures and societies far away. Our own society has been at dead ends with xenophobia and exclusionary politicians over the last few decades. We must learn to relate to this and deal with it. Not just as excuses – but in real present human-to-human reconciliation processes.

Since the Second World War, we have demanded from our education and training systems that discrimination and exclusion become part of our self-awareness – as individuals and as a society – in order to change and make a fair and better world.

And we remain in reconciliation with the past. This is why the memory of Auschwitz, the Nazi extermination camp, and knowledge and learning about the Holocaust remain parts of history we must, and should, deal with, at all times. We must look each other in the eye as a society, as human beings and always, at all times, remember that we humans must know and address our ethical and moral compass.
