Special Yom HaShoah Screening - No Admission Charge

SCREENING Wednesday April 18 5:30 PM CCA 1050 Old Pecos Trail DISCUSSION WITH RABBI MALKA DRUCKER Saturday April 21 1 PM St. Bede's 1601 St. Francis Drive at San Mateo 'Against The Tide' tells the little known story of Peter Bergson, a Jewish activist, and the conflict that erupted in the American Jewish community over the best means to rescue the European Jews trying to escape the Holocaust. Through a never before seen 1977 interview, Bergson gives a first-hand account of what occurred. The more successful he became in attracting support from important non-Jewish members of Congress and Hollywood personalities such as Ben Hecht, Edward G. Robinson and Paul Muni, the more threatened and resentful Jewish establishment leaders became. Only the ultra Orthodox Vaad Hatzala, led by Rabbis Aaron Kotler and Eliezer Silver worked with him.
