Jewish Film Festival

In the midst of a war in Ukraine, an Israeli field hospital is established to provide medical care to those affected by the conflict. The film follows the challenges faced by the medical teams, many of whom are descendants of Holocaust survivors, as they treat Ukrainian patients who have lost everything. Amidst the chaos and destruction, the film highlights the humanity and compassion of those providing care, showcasing the power of small acts of kindness to bring people together. The film also explores the intersection of history and culture, as the Israeli teams offer help and hope to those in need, while navigating their own emotional struggles. A touching portrayal of humanity and the impact that small acts of kindness can have in the face of adversity.

Did the Jews go as “lambs to the slaughter”? Paula Apsell, producer of NOVA series, made this riveting new feature describing the various ways Jews fought back, from armed to daily life resistance. Using rare archives, scholars of Holocaust research, and remaining survivors she tells the heroic tale of Jews who fought back in more than 60 armed rebellions—including six in death camps–and of thousands of Jewish partisans in forests of Europe.   

Treat yourself to a reception of light hors d’oeuvres and wine available prior to the movie showing. Upon the conclusion of the movie enjoy a Q and A afterwards with producer Paula Apsell.

Tickets will be $36 in advance or $45 at the door.
