We invite you to attend a special event being held in association with the 2016 Jewish International Film Festival.
It’s 1943, and France is under German occupation. Thirteen-year-old Fanny and her sisters are sent by their parents to the OSE, a foster home for Jewish children. With the arrival of the Nazis imminent, members of the OSE desperately organise the relocation of the children to Switzerland. Forced to flee their refuge, Fanny becomes the head of a group of eight children who set out on a dangerous mission across a Nazi-ridden France, aiming to reach the precarious safety of the Swiss border. Between fear, outbursts of laughter, and unexpected encounters, the small group learns about independence and discovers solidarity and friendship in the midst of tumultuous circumstance.
Following the screening of Fanny’s Journey, the Sydney Jewish Museum present a testimony from Jacqueline Dale, a French Holocaust survivor who was assisted by the OSE.
