RESCUE IN THE PHILIPPINES

WHERE: 
Jewish Federation, 901 Route 10, Whippany, NJ
ADMISSION: Free and open to the public.  Light refreshments will be served.

Rescue in the Philippines: Refuge from the Holocaust recounts a fascinating, yet seldom-told, chapter in World War II history. The documentary chronicles a real-life Casablanca, in which a high-profile group of poker buddies -  including Colonel Dwight Eisenhower - devised an intricate international plan of rescue and re-settlement, saving 1,300 Jews from Nazi concentration camps.

A discussion will follow with Jane Frieder Wilf.  She is the granddaughter of Herbert Frieder, and the daughter of Philip Richard Frieder, both of whom appear in the film.
