Nathan-ism documents the life of Nathan Hilu, a Jewish artist who served as a guard at the Nuremberg trials. This pivotal experience inspired his 70 years of creating a visual narrative as a virtually unknown “Outsider Artist.”

After World War II, those who served faced the challenge of processing what they had witnessed and survived. Nathan Hilu was one such U.S. serviceman, and the way he sought to preserve and share the stories of what happened was through art.

Rabbi Jessica Spitalnic Mates will lead a brief discussion following the film.
