Documentary Screening of “50 Children”

DOCUMENTARY SCREENING OF “50 CHILDREN”

The Greater Phoenix Jewish Film Festival, Bureau of Jewish Education, Phoenix Holocaust Survivors Association and Generations After continues its cinematic partnership with the screening of the documentary “50 Children” on Dec. 8, at 7 pm at the Ina Levine Jewish Community Campus, 12701 N Scottsdale Road in Scottsdale.

“50 Children” demonstrates how some people stepped out of their everyday roles and were able to overcome great obstacles in achieving their righteous goals. Their sense of justice was violated by the crimes and policies of Nazi Germany, even though they lived far away from that repressive dictatorship and were not directly affected. Yet, unlike many of the people surrounding them, the politicians governing the country, their administrative officials and even the Jewish community they were part of, the Krauses felt compelled to act – and thus saved 25 boys and 25 girls from certain death.

“Untold stories of bravery must continue to be told, so the public never forgets the atrocities that were committed in the past and how important it is to prevent them in the present and future,” says Greater Phoenix Jewish Film Festival Executive Director Bob Segelbaum. “The four community organizations joining together to screen 50 CHILDREN underscores our shared goal.”
