COLUMBUS, Ind. — YES Cinema has announced that tickets for the one showing of the short film “The Ice Cream Man,” which was partially filmed in Columbus, will go on sale at 5 p.m. today.

The film highlights the story of the Jewish Cahn, a Netherlands World War II-era ice cream parlor owner who chose resistance in spite of certain death during the Nazi invasion. His arrest led to the February Strike of 1941 — the first anti-Nazi protest.
More than 300,000 workers in Amsterdam went on strike February 25 and 26,1941, to protest Cahn’s arrest at his shop, and the ongoing, forced labor of Jews by the Nazi regime.
Portions of “The Ice Cream Man” were filmed at Zaharakos in downtown Columbus, to represent what a 1900s ice cream parlor that would resemble the Koco Ice Cream Parlor in 1941 Amsterdam.
