Powerful and inspirational… Based on a true story, the lives of inner city Paris students are changed when their no-nonsense history teacher enters them in a high school competition with the theme of what it meant to be a teen in a Nazi concentration camp. She is determined to engage her troubled, apathetic, multi-cultural class in a project that will instill a sense of purpose and ambition. The project is first met with resistance until a moving, face-to-face encounter with a Holocaust survivor. Perfect film for teens and the entire community! Sponsor: Dr. Ronnie & Ellen Gross
