| Despite the French Vichy Government’s collaboration with the Nazis, more than two-thirds of French Jews were able to survive the Holocaust, due in large part to the active resistance of ordinary French citizens. One of these untold stories is centered in the rural town of Chabannes from 1939 to 1943, where 400 children were sheltered, nurtured and educated in a converted chateau. This extraordinary award winning documentary focuses on the Jews and non-Jews, who risked their lives for these children. Co-director Lisa Gossels’ father is one of these children. |
