The Holocaust Through the Documentary Lens — Part 6 IN-PERSON AT DOROT

The Holocaust Through the Documentary Lens - Pt. 6: " Secret Lives: Hidden Children and Their Rescuers During World War II" Screening and Discussion

We are offering a series of documentaries that explore and reflect various aspects of the Holocaust. Each month we will meet to watch and discuss a documentary that offers a unique perspective about the Holocaust and its impact on so many individuals. While the films will not concentrate on explicit horrors and atrocities, they will tell stories of unique experiences that show the complexity of what occurred. After the screenings, there will be time for reflection and discussion. There is no “one” Holocaust story but millions of unique experiences.

This series is organized by award-winning filmmaker Aviva Slesin
