As a teenager, Fanya Heller spent 2½ years hidden beneath a chicken coop with her parents and brother. Only through the kindness of a Polish peasant did she and her family survive the Holocaust. In this conversation with journalist Nadine Epstein, Fanya will share personal reflection on her experiences and how they have influenced her decision to dedicate her life to sharing a message of tolerance and hope. She will also entertain questions about her film, Teenage Witness: The Fanya Heller Story (being shown at 1pm today).
