Screening of “The Essential Link – The Story of Wilfrid Israel”, a film by Yonatan Nir @ United Nations, Vienna
Despite saving the lives of thousands of Jews, taking an integral role in the Kindertransport and working in partnership with the British intelligence, Wilfrid Israel is, for the most part, a forgotten hero.
Wilfrid Israel: The Essential Link explores not only Israel’s remarkable rescue operations but also the reasons they had been kept secret for so long.
After the screening there will be Q&A Session with
Yonatan Nir – Film Director
Talya Lador-Fresher – Ambassador, Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations
Danielle Spera – Director, Jewish Museum, Vienna
Martin Nesirky – Director, United Nations Information Service (UNIS) Vienna
Admission free, no bookings taken – first come, first served
