• Chasing Portraits: A Film by Elizabeth Rynecki
  Whitsell Hall, Portland Art Museum, 1219 SW Park Ave. 
  This film documents Elizabeth Rynecki's quest to find the art works, close to 800 paintings and sculptures, of her great-grandfather lost during the Holocaust. Decades later, Elizabeth sought to rediscover his legacy; setting out on a journey to find what had been lost but never forgotten. Elizabeth Rynecki will be present at the showing, and there will be a Q and A following the film. This program is in conjunction with the exhibitions, Memory Unearthed: The Lodz Ghetto Photographs of Henryk Ross, Portland Art Museum, and The Last Journey of the Jews of Lodz, Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education.

The public is welcome. There will be a minimal charge. For ticket prices, please visit: https://nwfilm.org/films/chasing-portraits/
