Hiding Edith

Hiding Edith tells the true
story of Edith Schwalb. The Schwalb family were amongst the many Jewish
families who fled their homes as Nazi power increased in the lead-up to
World War II. Edith was sent to Moissac, a small town in the south of
France where the whole village kept the secret of a couple (Shatta and
Bouli Simon) who ran a children's home in the area and protected the
identity of the Jewish children who stayed there. Eventually the home
is forced to close and Edith experiences many other dangers, surviving
to tell her tale.



Kathy Kacer captures the spirit of young Edith in this dramatic and
moving account of Edith's personal experience during World War II.
