Behind Enemy Lines — The Marthe Cohn Story
4 PM LOS ANGELES • 7 PM NEW YORK
Chichinette: The Accidental Spy is an inspiring documentary about Marthe Hofnung Cohn, a feisty French Jewish woman who joined the French Army during WWII after Hitler’s rise to power. After remaining silent for nearly 60 years, Marthe began sharing her extraordinary story of resistance—how she used her German accent and blonde hair to pose as a nurse, slipping behind enemy lines to gather critical intelligence on Nazi movements for Allied commanders. Her family had fled to the south of France, and one of her sisters was sent to Auschwitz. Marthe’s harrowing journey is told with reverence, and her irrepressible spirit fills the film with hope. She passed away in 2025 at the age of 105, having spent her later years speaking around the world and inspiring generations with her courage and resilience.
The Rescue of Ethiopia’s Jews — A Dramatic History
11 AM LOS ANGELES • 2 PM NEW YORK
Henrietta Szold — Founder of Hadassah and Youth Aliyah
1 PM LOS ANGELES • 4 PM NEW YORK
Henrietta Szold is among the most influential American Jewish women who ever lived. She founded Hadassah in 1912, a Jewish women’s service organization, that inspired hundreds of thousands of Jewish women to invest their energies in a cause that transcended their own personal lives. She also helped organize Youth Aliyah, which successfully rescued thousands of Jewish children from Germany and Nazi-occupied Europe during the 1930s and transported them to Palestine. The new film, Labors of Love, tells her inspiring story.
