Learning of Hitler's campaign against the Jews, Winton sets out — working only from a hotel room in Prague and a house in England — to save the Nazis' youngest targets. Incredibly, he manages to rescue 669 children in the first six months of 1939. Then the war begins, and Winton's plans come to an immediate stop. Part drama, part documentary, this film shows the now 102-year-old Winton as a humble, if not shy, man who, through dedication and bravery, saved many children from the Holocaust. Today, more than 5,000 descendants of these children live all over the world. 2011 Jerusalem Film Festival Winner Forum for the Preservation of Audio-Visual Memory Award 2011 UK Jewish Film Festival Winner Audience Award Best Documentary 2012 Palm Beach Jewish Film Festival Winner Audience Award Best Documentary 20 Cohen on the Bridge rit ic ( 4 Theatres: WB 4/29, AA 4/29 4t.* Israel, USA, France, United Kingdom, 2011, 21 minutes, English, black-and-white animation Co-sponsored by the Chai Flyers - Jewish Pilots and Aviation Enthusiasts, StandWithUs, Michigan This short animated film is a one-of-a-kind!
