My Name Is Sara Film Screening and Panel Discussion

ABOUT THIS EVENT

Join us during Women’s History Month for a live conversation about the strength and determination of one young woman to survive the Holocaust and the challenges that women faced then—and still encounter today in war-torn societies.

After escaping a Jewish ghetto in occupied Poland, 13-year-old Sara Guralnik hid in plain sight, passing as an orthodox Christian in the Ukrainian countryside, where she was taken in by a farmer and his wife who did not know her true identity. The award-winning film My Name Is Sara tells the story of her courage and her harrowing journey.

Hear about Sara’s inspiring story and her legacy from her granddaughter and son, the film director, and the actress who portrays her, with context provided by a Museum historian.
