In 1940, days after the Nazis sealed 450,000 Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto, a secret band of journalists, scholars, and community leaders decided to fight back. This clandestine group known by the code name Oyneg Shabes, vowed to defeat Nazi lies and propaganda not with guns or fists but with pen and paper. Now, for the first time, their story is told.

NOTE: Screenings followed by the Facebook Live post-film discussion from Paris (recorded earlier in the day) with Executive Producer Nancy Spielberg, Director Roberta Grossman, and author Samuel Kassow.

YENTL

(Barbra Streisand, US 1983, 133 min., 35mm)

In 1904 Poland, Yentl is a young Jewish girl wishing to become a religious scholar - at the time exclusively the realm of men. Barbra Streisand purchased the story rights of Yentl ten years before she was able to convince Hollywood to make this film, eventually becoming the director, co-writer, co-producer, and star.
