Angel in the NightMarch 17-28, 2023
Set in 1942 (and today), this is the true story of Marysia Pawlina Szul, a teenager who hid four Jews in her barn (without her famiry's approval). She alone cared for them for two years during the Nazi invasion of Poland. Although she was arrested, imprisoned and beaten by Nazi soldiers, Marysia refused to betray them. Today Marysia is honored both in Yad Vashem, Israel and the Avenue of the Righteous Park in Evanston, Illinois. Angel in the Night is an inspiring story of courage, compassion and heroism, reinforcing the concept that one individual can make a real difference and that love is stronger than hatred.
