Watch The Teacher Who Defied Hitler

This historical and biographical documentary film premiered in 2013. The film is about Leonore Goldschmidt, a school teacher who managed to establish a school for Jewish students during Hitler's reign in Germany. The documentary explores how this daring school teacher created a school for Jewish youth in Berlin, which was the epicenter of Nazi Germany. Students who survived the holocaust thanks to the brave efforts of Goldschmidt give a firsthand account of how life was like in the school under Nazi rule and how Goldschmidt managed to help them escape to safety. Actual footage from 1935-1939 gives a firsthand look at the Goldschmidt school, which became a haven for Jews in Berlin during the Nazi regime before it was shut down.
