Full Description
Aviva Slesin's haunting documentary tells the story of Jewish children saved from the Nazis by non-Jews. A hidden child herself, Slesin lived with a Christian couple in Lithuania for several years. Non-Jewish rescuers, who took Jewish children into their homes at great personal risk, performed extraordinary acts of decency. The film deftly examines biological ties and the poignant reunions between children and their survivor parents. It also explores the bonds that developed, sometimes imperceptibly, between the hidden children and their rescuer families, and the intense sense of loss some rescuer parents felt when they relinquished their temporary charges.
