JCC: Four Winters Film Screening
Join the JCC for a screening of the powerful film Four Winters which celebrates the stories of courageous Jewish fighters who, despite unimaginable odds, fought back fiercely against Hitler’s war machine. Although the Nazis seized and murdered millions of Jews during World War II, they failed to capture an estimated 25,000 who escaped into the forests of Eastern Europe. Instead of simply hiding, these young men and women — many of them teenagers — banded together to fight back, carrying out deadly acts of sabotage, staging ambushes, and waging clandestine warfare against the Nazis and their collaborators. Featuring interviews with the last living Partisans and also using rare archival film footage, letters, historic war records, and artifacts from Partisans’ personal collections, the film weaves together many strands to shatter the myth of Jewish passivity. ** Film Screening will be following by Zoomed-in Q&A with director **
