An exciting story based on the book Twenty and Ten by Claire Huchet Bishop.  This movie introduces us to three Jewish children escaping from Nazi-occupied France at the end of 1943 who find unexpected help in a Catholic school run by Sister Gabrielle (Loretta Swit).  At first the gentile children are afraid to help, but learn they have much in common.  Together they create a daring plan to outwit the Nazis.

This 1-hour film is family friendly and will be followed by a brief discussion.
