999: The Forgotten Girls

Documentary
Directed by: Beatriz M Calleja, Heather Dune Macadam
Starring: Ramita Navai

Followed by Q&A with Writer and Producer, Heather Dunn Macadam

Description:
Best-selling author and historian Heather Dune Macadam has adapted her acclaimed book 999 into a powerful documentary that sheds light on a wrenching true story. In March 1942, nearly 1,000 young Slovak Jewish women, mostly teenagers, told by their government that they were embarking on a volunteer work assignment, were instead illegally deported to Auschwitz on what was the first Jewish transport to the Nazi death camp. Rather than strictly focus on the suffering and death experienced by most of the girls, Macadam tells stories of a small group who survived against all odds.

Presented in association with the 32nd Jewish Film Festival of Eastern Connecticut
