The Fast Runner
Friday April 5 at 2:00pm - Strength Program
(Victoria, 15:00 minutes, English)
The Fast Runner is a powerful tale of resilience and compassion during the Holocaust. Frida, a young Jewish girl, questions her Rabbi’s kindness, even toward Herr Muller, a German policeman. When their paths cross in a concentration camp, her act of compassion sparks an unexpected moment of humanity, changing everything.
