Shelter and Shield: The Persian Schindler, The Polish Refugees, and The Story of Jewish and Christian Refuge in Iran in WWII

The Georgetown University Persian language and Culture Program and the Jalinous Endowment for Persian Language and Culture invite you to an exclusive screening of the documentary film, Sardari’s Enigma, about Abolhosssein Sardari, the Iranian diplomat who saved hundreds of Iranian Jews in Paris in 1942. Following the screening there will be a panel discussion on Sardari and on Christian and Jewish polish refugees in Iran during World War II. Participants in the panel will include scholars, historians, authors and the filmmaker herself with NPR’s Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep.
