Program Description
Event Details
We invite you to join us as we honor Holocaust Remembrance Day with a showing of the 2024 film White Bird, which is a sequel to the 2017 film Wonder.
The story of Julian's grandmother, Grandmère. Traveling back to her traumatic childhood, she recounts her time as a Jewish girl in Nazi-occupied France. Seeking shelter in a small village, she finds a family who takes her in and hides her away from the Nazi forces. What follows is a poignant tale about friendship and survival in the most difficult times.
Florida resident and local American History and Holocaust & Genocide Studies teacher Jennifer Younghans will be on hand to provide some historical context before the film, and to facilitate a short discussion afterward.
