MOVIE SCREENING
999- The Forgotten Girls
999 reveals the hidden story about 999 unmarried, young Jewish women registered for government service in a supposed shoe factory and ended up in Auschwitz.
Who were these young women? Why were they chosen? How did a handful survive over three years in the death camps?
94-year-old Edith Grosman—#1970 and a few other survivors reveal the truth of this almost completely ignored piece of women's history, the First Official Jewish Transport to Auschwitz.
Based on the international best seller 999: The Extraordinary Young Women of the First Official Jewish Transport to Auschwitz (translated into 19 languages) this documentary pairs with the book to educate and inform a wider public about this historic #MeToo story.
