A film produced by the Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center was nominated for an Academy Award in the documentary feature division. Through archival footage and interviews, “The Long Way Home” dramatizes the fate of post- Holocaust refugees between 1945 and 1948, and their desperate attempts to reach the Jewish homeland. The center’s first production, “Genocide,” won an Oscar as best documentary in 1981.
