Detroit Jewish Film Festival - 999: The Forgotten Girls of the Holocaust

Heather Dune Macadam, Director

This staggering documentary reveals the untold story of 999 unmarried, young Jewish women who initially registered for government service in a purported shoe factory, only to be tragically sent to Auschwitz. Who were these young women and why were they chosen? Survivors reveal the truth of this almost completely ignored piece of women’s history.

Talkback with Director Heather Dune Macadam and Katie C. Park, The Zekelman Holocaust Center.
