Singer's Warsaw Festival Features Film About the Righteous
The premiere of the film “The Consul of Bordeaux” (Le Consul de Bordeaux) will feature as part of Singer's Festival of Jewish Culture. Directed by Francisco Manso and Joao Correa, the film presents the true story of the Portugese Consul in Bordeaux who saved several dozen thousand Jews, in May 1940, helping them to leave occupied France. In 1966, the Consul, Aristides de Sousa Mendes, was honoured with the title of Righteous Among the Nations.
