Sunday Matinee: Defying Genocide
The gripping true story of a Jewish industrialist (Jeroen Spitzenberger) who saved hundreds of Dutch children from the death camps is recounted in this lavish award-winning WWII drama. Walter Sskind managed to save almost a thousand Jewish children from deportation by playing a cat-and-mouse game with SS Hauptsturmfhrer Aus der Fnten (Karl Markovics, The Counterfeiters).Sandra Craine, Program Coordinator for the Georgia Commission on the Holocaust, will introduce this screening of Sskind, a film among the highest-grossing in recent Netherlands box office history.Click here to read more.

Location: Regal Northpoint Market, Alpharetta
Free admission! The story of how Simone Weil Lipman was able to save thousands of Jewish children during the Holocaust is a starting point for an exploration of what it takes to defy genocide. The film focuses on Damas Gisimba, director of a small orphanage in Rwanda that was besieged by militias during the 1994 genocide. Learn how Gisimba, with the help of American aid worker Carl Wilkens, managed to protect, care for, and save some 400 people.
