Annual Yom HaShoah Commemoration
Secret Lives: Hidden Children and their Rescuers
during World War II
In 1939, there were 1.5 million Jewish children alive in Europe. Approximately 10 percent
survived the Holocaust. Some escaped to safe shores, some survived the camps, and some
eluded capture in the forests. And some were saved by non-Jewish rescuers, who at great risk
to their own lives took them in as an extraordinary act of kindness.
This is the story of those children and their rescuers.
Film screening will be followed by a Q and A with
Aviva Slesin, producer/director of the film
