About the event
999 unmarried, young Jewish women were registered for government service in a supposed shoe factory and ended up in Auschwitz. Their government had paid the Nazis to take them and work them to death. Who were these young women? Why were they chosen? How did a handful survive over three years in the death camps?
WHY WE LIKE THIS FILM: An important and unusual story from the Shoah. Also a rare opportunity to see a film and be able to read the non-fiction book behind it, while hearing from the author and filmmaker.
BONUS PROGRAMMING: Director/Author Heather Dune Macadam will be at the festival to present the movie, her debut film, and to conduct a Q&A / special presentation on the non-fiction book she wrote that the movie is based on.
