WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden have hosted their first official film screening at the White House. The White House says they showed HBO’s “The Survivor” in honor of Yom HaShoah and Holocaust Remembrance Week in the movie theater in the East Wing. “The Survivor” tells the grueling story of boxer Harry Haft, who put the lives of fellow concentration camp prisoners at risk to save his own. Director Barry Levinson, actor Ben Foster, who plays the lead character, and representatives of the American Jewish Community were invited to attend.
