Скачать или смотреть 13th Annual Holocaust in Film Series: "My Name is Sara" Talkback with Filmmaker Steven Oritt

The AHEC was proud to kick off our 13th annual Holocaust in Film Series: Rescue, Escape, and Liberation, sponsored by the Perlman Donor Advised Fund, with a screening of "My Name is Sara".

This stunning drama is based on the true-life story of thirteen-year-old Sara Góralnik. After escaping the Jewish Ghetto in Poland and losing her family, Sara hides in plain sight by passing as an Orthodox Christian in the Ukrainian countryside. There, she is taken in by a farmer and his young wife, but she soon discovers the dark secrets of her employers’ marriage, compounding the greatest secret she must strive to protect, her true identity.

This Zoom recording features the post-screening Q&A with filmmaker Steven Oritt as he discusses his inspiration for making "My Name is Sara," the process of directing and producing the film, and what became of the real-life Sara after the war.
