Tenuous Threads - Judy Abrams -- Azrieli Series Short Films

Judit Grünfeld (Judy Abrams) is thrown into the turmoil and terror of World War II. At seven, Judy’s mother leaves her at a convent where she must adopt a new “Christian” identity. Separated from her parents, forced to “pass” as Christian children, coping with dangers they barely understand, this evocative and lyrical memoir describe a childhood irrevocably marked by the Holocaust. In the same book as Eva Marx's Memoir, Tenuous Threads and One of the Lucky Ones tell us the parallel but unique stories of two children who were able to survive when so many others perished.
