7:00pm Boy On the Run: An Extraordinary Journey of Survival - Temple Sinai

This poignant and profoundly insightful film tells the gripping story of Paul Galan and his family and the unbelievable events leading to his family’s survival of the Holocaust. Amid numerous close calls that could prove to be a death sentence for all, he and his family found themselves in a labor camp in Slovakis where they were liberated during an uprising. Soon after, they embarked on a perilous journey across the Sudetes Mountains disguised as Lutherans and relying on refuge from kind strangers. Boy on The Run vividly recounts the extraordinary journey, including a tense night when Paul and his family found themselves sharing quarters with Nazi soldiers. Hear firsthand from Paul Galan during the talkback and Q & A after the film.

Enjoy light nosh at 6:30pm and the film to follow at 7pm.
