Movies
Documentary telling the little-known story set in Nazi Germany of the first ever female rabbi. Regina Jonas was a revered figure for her pastoral work in 1930s Berlin before she was deported to Theresienstadt in 1942 and then, in 1944, to Auschwitz, where she was murdered. The documentary follows her struggle to be ordained as a rabbi, and also her romance with Hamburg rabbi, Josef Norden.
