My Italian Secret: The Forgotten Heroes of the Holocaust, narrated by Isabella Rossellini, tells the story of cycling idol Gino Bartali and other courageous Italians who risked their lives to save thousands of Jews, partisans, and refugees from Nazi-occupied Italy. These brave Italians worked with Jewish leaders and members of the Catholic Church to save approximately 80% of the country’s Jews. Bartali, like most of the rescuers, never sought recognition or reward and few of those he helped knew his name or what role he played in their rescue. The screening of the film will be followed by a discussion with the documentary’s producers along with survivors and their family members
