http://www.weinsteinjcc.orgThe Weinstein JCC is proud to offer a full line-up of thought-provoking, educational and entertaining Israeli films for the Richmond community during its 9th Annual Israeli Film Festival, January 9-13, 2019.
This film sheds light on an oft-forgotten wealthy German Jew who, throught a combination of wily negotiations with the Nazis, large sums of his own money and a long series of selfless acts, saved thousands of Jews in the 1930's and 1940's. Wilfired Israel, the owner of a department store, was one of the great saviours of Jews and played a key role in the Kindertransport operation. Filmmaker, Yonatan Nir takes us on an adventure as he searches for the mysterious hero and for the reasons for his desappearance from history.
