"Refuge reaches back more than 70 years to give voice to the final generation of Jewish victims of Nazi persecution. The film traces the lives of Holocaust survivors and refugees who today live in Chicago at Selfhelp, a home that has provided refuge for more than 1,000 elderly Central European Jews since the end of World War II. Told through eyewitness experiences of Selfhelp's residents and founders, this is a story of remarkable courage and resilience"--Back of container.
