The Conscience of a City (Educational Film)
Available from July 31-Aug 14th
“The Conscience of a City” is a Dutch short film that brings to light the story of a small town (Enschede) where a minister took it upon himself and the members of his church to save as many local Jews as they could during the Holocaust. The film will be available via a youtube link for these 2 weeks. Click to register for access to the film https://kolemeth.shulcloud.com/form/the-conscience-of-a-city-educational-film.html
Team Overduin hopes to make this film available to communities around the world, especially those who have little access to information about the Holocaust and the Jewish people. While an English dubbed version has been created, we know that there are many more language versions needed. This work can only be done through support from you – please consider making a donation today. As a token of appreciation, we will send all contributors access to the English dubbed film.
