As If It Were Yesterday

The Belgian Resistance, often overlooked in historical accounts, played a critical role in shielding over 4,000 Jewish children from Nazi persecution during World War II. This largely untold story is brought to life by the compelling documentary directed by Myriam Abramowicz and Esther Hoffenberg, children of parents who themselves experienced hiding during the war. The film not only sheds light on the heroism of these unsung heroes but also serves as a catalyst for the formation of The Hidden Child, an international network that has been diligently organizing reunions between hidden children and their protective families in Belgium for over three decades. Through this documentary, audiences will gain a deeper understanding of the selflessness and courage exhibited by these individuals during one of history's darkest periods.
