No. 4 Street of Our Lady (Movie Watch)

This is the remarkable, yet little-known story of Francisca Halamajowa, a Polish-Catholic woman who rescued 16 of her Jewish neighbors during the Holocaust. Cleverly passing herself off as a Nazi sympathizer, Francisca was able to save two families who would surely have been killed by the Nazis.This film uses the diary entries of Moshe Maltz as a time-line to explore some of the painful moral & ethical dilemmas that acts of rescue & survival often entail.It also reveals how traumatic events of the past continue to play out years later.
