In November 1940, days after the Nazis sealed 450,000 Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto, a secret band of journalists, scholars and community leaders chose to fight back. Known by the code name "Oyneg Shabes," they vowed to defeat Nazi lies and propaganda not with guns or fists, but with pen and paper. Filmmakers Roberta Grossman and Nancy Spielberg transport us into the world of these resistance fighters. Jakub Kazecki, associate professor of German, speaks after the
film; reception follows. $10/$8 (plus service fees), available at the festival website. $12/$10 at the door. (2015, 94 min.) FMI 207-523-3422.
