In the spring of 1945, the Swedish Red Cross sent a fleet of white buses to rescue what would become over 30,000 concentration camp inmates. On February 9, 2021, the Holocaust Memorial & Tolerance Center of Nassau County (HMTC), through the David Taub Reel Upstanders Film Series, screened “Stateless, Arrogant and Lunatic,” an award-winning drama-documentary (100 minutes) created by Lena Einhorn about Gilel Storch and the white bus operation. A virtual discussion followed with Marcus Storch, whose father pushed the Red Cross to act, and the filmmaker, Lena Einhorn. The discussion was moderated by Gilel Storch’s grand-nephew, the famed concert producer Tomer Adaddi. You can watch the film on your own and then watch the post-film discussion on youtube:
