At this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, Scarlett Johansson’s Eleanor the Great stood out for more than its storytelling — it cast real Holocaust survivors, in partnership with the Shoah Foundation.
As antisemitism rises globally, bringing survivors onto the screen is more than a cinematic choice; it’s a safeguard against denial and distortion. Their presence makes the film not only a work of art, but also a record of living memory.
