Film screening: With God Against Man

The Moscow War Memorial Synagogue presents Semyon Pinkhasov‘s must-see documentary about Aristides de Sousa Mendes.  In June 2013, Pinkhasov followed a group of visa recipient families, along with members of the Sousa Mendes family, as they embarked on a pilgrimage retracing their families’ footsteps of 73 years earlier.  They were “searching for Sousa Mendes” – looking for traces and clues of a lost history in an effort to understand their personal pasts.  In attendance will be the filmmaker as well as Sousa Mendes visa recipient Sarah Goodman, coming specially from Israel.  47 min.
