Director Roberta Grossman

Join JNF on Campus in honor of Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, as we hear from Roberta Grossman, director of the poignant documentary, "Who Will Write Our History." This film tells the incredible true story of a secret band of journalists, scholars, and community leaders in the Warsaw Ghetto who set out to defeat Nazi lies and propaganda with pen and paper. The film mixes the writings of the Oyneg Shabes archive - the caches of writing and artifacts buried by these men and women - with new interviews, rarely seen footage and stunning dramatizations to transport viewers inside the Ghetto and into the lives of these courageous resistance fighters. Please watch the film before the event, and join us for a Q&A with Roberta. Zoom information and film link provided upon RSVP.
