HS-08. My Name Is Sara

USA/Poland, Feature Film, 2019, 111 min

The film was produced in collaboration with the USC Shoah Foundation founded by Steven Spielberg during the filming of Schindler's List.

This powerful saga of courage and compassion is based on the astonishing true-life story of Sara G├â╞Æ├é┬│ralnik, a 13-year-old Polish Jew who lost her entire family in the Holocaust yet struggled to outlast the Nazis and keep her faith alive. After a grueling escape, Sara steals her Christian best friend’s identity and finds refuge in a small Ukrainian village, where she is taken in by a farmer and his young wife and hidden in plain sight, masquerading as a Christian. But Sara soon discovers the dark secret of her employer’s marriage, which compromises the greatest secret she must protect at all costs, her true identity.
