Mary Skinner will present “In the Name of their Mothers,” a new documentary about Irena Sendler and the women of Żegota, the underground organization in wartime Poland dedicated to the rescue of Jews. PiTR previously hosted film makers Menachem Daum (Hiding and Seeking), Wanda Koscia (The Battle of Warsaw), and the late Aneta Naszynska and the late Jagna Wright (Forgotten Odyssey).

Documentary film maker and PiTR alumnus (2006) Eric Bednarski, will coordinate this year’s film program with documentaries and feature films from PiTR’s and his own film library.
