Secret Lives: Hidden Children & Their Rescuers During WWII

NEW DOCS

Throughout Europe during the Holocaust, families risked their lives to protect Jewish children from the atrocities of the Third Reich. While those humanitarian actions saved lives, the results often strained lives once families were united after the war. Using the present-day reunions of these life-during wartime-families as its jumping-off point, Secret Lives explores the complex, loving relationship that’s an important subtext of the Holocaust.  KF
