Twelve films have been produced by the Foundation including seven, which are focused on the rescue of Jewish fugitives by non-jews during the Holocaust. These films document extraordinary acts of courage by ordinary people in Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland and Scandinavian countries.

More recent programs were filmed in Macedonia and Croatia, which reflect resolution of inter-community conflicts in spite of the continuing legacy of ethnic and religious bias.

Our films have been shown by 24 U.S. public television stations, at museums including the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington,DC, at universities, embassies, faith-based organizations, and at many U.S. high schools.

The films have also been exhibited at national and international film competitions and have won Gabriel, Telly, Aegis, and CINE Golden Eagle Awards. Volunteer narrators of the films have included Liv Ullmann, Eli Wallach, Alan Alda, Theodore Bikel, Irene Papas, Uta Hagen, Marvin Kalb and Bettina Gregory.
