MONDAY JANUARY 27, 7:30PM EST
SPECIAL MARCH OF THE LIVING FILM PRESENTATION
SABOTAGE
On Jan. 5, 1945, less than two weeks before the evacuation of Auschwitz, 4 female Jewish prisoners were publicly hanged for their courageous role in the historic revolt at the camp. The film tells their story through the moving testimony of survivors of the revolt using archival testimony from the USC Shoah Foundation and USHMM. Survivor Anna Heilman, whose sister was one of those executed, is the film’s main narrator. Heilman also shared her story with students on the 1994 March of the Living.
“I let the women in this film talk for themselves… When I ask myself what attracted me to making Sabotage, my answer is unequivocal. The female perspective on the Holocaust, or if you will, the heroism of women in the Holocaust.” –Noa Aharoni, Sabotage Director
