Killing Kasztner: The Jew Who Dealt with the Nazis
Saturday, October 23, 7:30 PM
Hero or traitor, Rezso Kasztner known as the Jewish Schindler, negotiated face-to-face with Adolf Eichmann, rescuing 1700 Jews on a train to Switzerland. Yet Kasztner was condemned as a traitor in his adopted country of Israel; accused as a collaborator in a trial that divided a nation and stamped him as the "man who sold his soul to the devil." He was assassinated by Jewish extremists in Tel Aviv in 1957. Director Gaylen Ross investigates this tale of murder, intrigue, and heroism.
