The film Blue Tattoo: Dina's Story, Joe's Song to be shown at Temple Sholom

The documentary film Blue Tattoo: Dina’s Story, Joe’s Song will be shown at April 19, 5:00 pm at Temple Sholom in Broomall (55 Church Lane Broomall). The viewing will be followed by a discussion via skype with director Rich Kellman and a Yom HaShoah memorial service.

Music has the power to touch both the mind and the heart. The song Blue Tattoo does that with passion and simplicity, and the film Blue Tattoo: Dina’s Story, Joe’s Song tells the story behind the song. The song Blue Tattoo tells Dina’s story from the perspective of a mother, newly emigrated to America, explaining the meaning of the blue tattoo on her arm to her four year old daughter in a way that protects her child’s sense of innocence. The idea for the song took root in 2007, when singer/songwriter Joe Crookston and Holocaust survivor Dina Jacobson met at her home in Elmira NY. They struck up a warm friendship, and the result, three years later, was Blue Tattoo, which Joe recorded and continues to perform in concerts internationally.

Free. All are welcome.
