The Colours of the Holocaust
18 November 2009

Invitation to implement a worldwide premiere of a new Holocaust film on the 65th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz on January 27, 2010.

The Colours of the Holocaust  (60 min) by Rax Rinnekangas is a film on the least known reasons for the world’s longest hatred, anti-Semitism, – the birth of Aryanism in Europe in the 19th century – on its shift to Nazism in the first half of the 20th century and on the impact of its consequences on the spiritual climate after the World War.

Addressed especially to new generations, the film also reveals that Organized Evil – the Nazis’ utopia of an empire lasting a thousand years – did not, after all, occur in a black and white reality, like archive films have taught us, but in the same colourful world in which we live today.

The aim is that art museums, different institutes and universities in different countries unify themselves into an international humanitarian chain on January 27, 2010 – for the realization of world peace. We hope you will join the project.

The presentation format of the film is DVD (PAL or NTSC) and its language is Finnish – subtitles in English. Each museum / institute / university binding itself to the event by the end of November will receive a copy of the DVD free of charge accompanied by publicity material including photographs and a list of other participants bound themselves to the event.
