Open to Museum Members and volunteers. Aron is eight years old when his family moves from a rural Polish village to hectic Warsaw. His family’s opportunities for a better life quickly vanish as the occupying German government imposes harsh restrictions. Officially confined to the Jewish quarter, Aron makes his way from apprentice to master smuggler until his only option is Janus Korczak, the renowned doctor who runs a Jewish orphanage.

Presented in partnership with Bnai Zion Foundation, join us for a screening of The House on August Street followed by a discussion with the film’s director and screenwriter, Ayelet Bargur. The film tells the remarkable story of Beate Berger, a German Jew who rescued nearly 300 children during the Holocaust by smuggling them to Ahava Village in Palestine in the 1930s. Bargur, who is Berger’s great-niece, wrote a book about her great-aunt’s heroism before creating the film.

Join us for a screening of the 2017 film The Invisibles in the Cinemark Theatre.
