In 1939, Herb Gildin, age 10, and his two older sisters, were sent by their parents to live in Sweden to escape Nazi persecution. As they waved goodbye, the parents feared they would never see their children again. Watch Tyler Gildin’s award-winning documentary on your own (cost $2.99 on various platforms) about his grandfather’s survival, the family’s reunion in New York, and the work of HIAS that made it possible.
After you watch the film on your own, watch a virtual post-discussion with documentary filmmaker Tyler Gildin and Erin Kade Greenbaum, Senior Director at HIAS, that took place on August 11, 2020.
