The Tattooed Torah is an animated film that is based on the renowned children’s book by Marvell Ginsburg. This book has been educating children about the Holocaust for over 30 years. The book recounts the true story of the rescue and restoration of a small Torah from Brno, Czechoslovakia, and teaches the Holocaust not only as a period of destruction but also as an opportunity for redemption. The story of the Tattooed Torah is a profound story of love, bonds across generations, tradition, and resilience. But most of all, it’s a story of hope.
The adaptation of The Tattooed Torah into an animated short film is a three-generation endeavor. It was initiated by Marvell’s daughter, Beth Kopin, who had the dream of transforming this book into a film, and is one of the executive producers. Beth will be joined by the film’s producer (our very own Boulderite) Lisa Effress, director Marc Bennett, animator Christian Robins, film editor John Polk,

Our Hero: Little Torah
The Tattooed Torah has been life changing
. I was inspired to dig deeper, better understand Little Torah’s journey from Brno to Chicago, so I retraced the path. My soul had been yearning to face the reality of my People’s/Little Torah’s history. The experience was profoundly meaningful…
Brno
Brno town square. Beautiful but considered dangerous, where Jews were rounded up and taken away.
Continuing to build the team: #13 Little Torah. The Journey…Brno-Prague-Michle-London-Chicago. I flew to Prague (with family) during Passover, (holiday of redemption) then drove three hours to Brno, Little Torah’s birthplace. Walking through the streets of Brno felt eerily familiar, the town square and building facades were similar in style to the book/film illustrations by Martin Lemelman. That made me smile…
