As If It Were Yesterday

By Esther Hoffenberg & Myriam Abramowicz

A tribute to the spirit of resistance, AS IF IT WERE YESTERDAY retraces the solidarity that developed within Belgium – especially among women – as the local population went about organizing a secret network of homes to take in Jewish children during the Nazi occupation. We find out why some people risked their lives to save others in this profoundly moving documentary that affirms the human spirit.
