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.

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.
Resisting Nazism
1 PM LOS ANGELES • 4 PM NEW YORK
Nazism has always faced resistance: from the German artists who caricatured the Nazis in the 1920s, or the man who infiltrated the SS to try and expose the Holocaust in the 1940s, or the people who uncovered former Nazis as part of a groundbreaking documentary in the 1970s. Resisting Nazism is the first book to connect such stories, painting a vivid picture of resistance to hatred and extremism across the generations.
