El Al and Holocaust Memorial Day

A friend gave me permission to post her report. I'm not sure if she wanted her name used, but she did say that she's flown El Al over one hundred times!

It was interesting on El Al the night of Erev Yom Ha Shoah. They announced they wouldn't show any of the movies listed but special programming for Yom HaShoah. I was very pleased to see "Everything Shall Be Illuminated" written & directed by Liev Schreiber with Elijah Woods - an amazingly beautiful and poignant film. Then I woke up to see the end of "A Beautiful Life" about the Italian Jewish comedian who keeps his 5 year old son alive in the concentration camp by making up fantasy for him & reaching out to his wife in the women's camp. It is also beautiful & poignant.
