A documentary that reconstructs the lives of Holocaust survivors Lottie and Howard Marcus, who made the largest-ever charitable donation to an institution based in Israel, will screen at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival later this month.
Photograph of Prime Minister of Israel, David Ben-Gurion (1886-1973) meeting with Albert Einstein (1879-1955) at Princeton University, New Jersey. Dated 20th Century. The film simultaneously traces the development of Israel’s vital water technology from pre-state to the present; how the Marcuses’ $500 million gift in 2016 has ensured continued leading-edge development in water science for Israelis and the world as a whole and donation to Ben-Gurion University.
