On the occasion of the "International Holocaust Remembrance Day," the award-winning documentary by Vassilis Lules, "Children in Hiding" will be screened.

Five Jewish children in Greece during the German Occupation. Childhood was their paradise. Even if they lived it hidden in the arms of "strangers," even if they lost it in the shadow of the Holocaust.

"Children in Hiding" is not just another film about the Holocaust; it is a film about childhood in the shadow of the Holocaust.

Film Synopsis:

Five little Jewish children in German-occupied Greece who were saved from death thanks to the brave Christian families, five "hidden children" who lived in absolute silence, narrate their stories: stories of terror, pain, and anguish, but also moments of childhood innocence in the arms of their "foreign" saviors who became loving shelters far from the horrors of the Holocaust.

Five children who grew up abruptly.

Rozina, Sifis, Eftychia, Selly, and Marios spent their entire lives carrying the memory of thousands of other children who never had the chance to grow up.

The film follows these individuals from childhood to old age, bringing to light their precious personal documents: a childhood diary, a school report, photographs, family home movies, and other evidence. Concurrently, it portrays the life of the Jewish communities in Greece before the war and reveals rare images of occupied Athens and Thessaloniki through film archives, amateur films by German soldiers, and illegal recordings by Greek patriots.
