On Monday, August 6, the Paradise Falls Lutheran Association in the Poconos (PA) screened the film for their members. The Rev. Mary W. Gade shared the following feedback and pictures:

"[The film] got an amazing reaction. The majority of folks present were probably 70 to the oldest I am aware of was 91. When it was over several had stories to share of people they have known in their life that were Holocaust survivors as well as their own remembrances of that time in their life. They found the way in which Frank told his story was honest and in no way trying to manipulate the audience’s emotions. They found the movie to be touching, informative, and a wonderful collection of art, music and actual film of the era. They were amazed when I told them again that all of the drawings [other than Frank’s and other survivors] were done by students…as well as the score....In any event…if they could vote…Misa’s Fugue would get the Academy Award."
