Helen Fry in Conversation – Fall Series
October 29 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm EDT
In Conversation with Roger Moorhouse on The Forgers: The Forgotten Story of the Holocaust’s Most Audacious Rescue Operation
The secret history of one of the largest—and least-known—rescue operations of World War II.
Between 1940 and 1943, a group of Polish diplomats in Switzerland engaged in a wholly remarkable—and until now, completely unknown—humanitarian operation.
With the international community failing to act, the operation was one of the largest actions to aid Jews of the entire war. The Forgers tells this extraordinary story for the first time.
