Rescue in the Philippines: Join us, along with a special guest from the Embassy of the Philippines, for a screening of a documentary that tells the story of how 1,200 Jews escaped the Nazis and immigrated to the Philippines with the help of an unlikely coalition: five cigar-making brothers from Cincinnati, Manuel Quezon, the charismatic first president of the Philippines, Paul McNutt, US High Commissioner, and an ambitious U.S. Army Colonel named Dwight Eisenhower. Light refreshments to follow.
RSVP to Natalie at nabenhaim@jewishottawa.com.
