Description

The Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County's David Taub Reel Upstanders Film Series presents a film screening of Into the Arms of Strangers: Stories of the Kindertransport, in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Kindertransport.

Into the Arms of Strangers - Stories of the Kindertransport is an Oscar-award winning documentary, directed by Mark Jonathan Harris, with narration by Judy Dench. The film tells the extraordinary story of how Great Britain offered refuge to over 10,000 unaccompanied minor children whose parents secretly smuggled them out of Nazi-occupied Germany and German annexed countries. Special guests at the screening will be Anita Weisbord and Helga Shepard, Holocaust Survivors who were part of the Kindertransport.

The David Taub Reel Upstanders Film Series was established in honor of David Taub (1932-2010), a Holocaust Survivor and respected friend of the Center.
