Description
The drama of anti-Nazi activism in 1940s Europe is conveyed through a gripping documentary account of the interconnected lives of two Harvard alumni: Ernst “Putzi” Hanfstaengl, who served the Third Reich before offering himself to the Allies; and Varian Frye, who risked all to smuggle hundreds of Hitler’s opponents out of Europe. The distinguished, Academy Award winning documentarian Richard Kaplan will discuss his work after the screening.
