Screening of “The Essential Link – The Story of Wilfrid Israel”, a film by Yonatan Nir @ UK Jewish Film Festival
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. As the wealthy owner of one of Berlin’s largest department stores and an avid art collector, Israel was a high profile yet deeply enigmatic figure. 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.
+ Panel discussion with Ruth Barnett and Jean-Marc Dreyfus.
