My WorkBashert: A Granddaughter’s Holocaust Quest
Bashert (Yiddish for “fated”) portrays the author’s search for information about her lost family, Jews presumably killed during the Holocaust, who lived in her grandmother’s village, Volchin, in what is now Belarus. It also uncovers facts about the little-publicized 1942 massacres of 50,000 Jews in the nearby forest of Brona Gora, many of whom had been liquidated from the Brest ghetto.

Focusing on the Kilimanjaro Region, the documentary will highlight the stories of inspirational women who, despite enormous obstacles, have effectuated change in key areas: education, HIV/AIDS, business empowerment, and female genital mutilation.
