Films at the Museum: "i was 8814" Screening and Talkback

Torn from her home, alone, and unsure of where she was headed, Hanna left Germany on a transport bound for England at just 7 years old. 

She would come to learn that she was part of an epic rescue effort that would save nearly 10,000 Jewish children from Hitler’s Nazi regime. Hanna’s parents, Markus and Amalie however, would not make it to safety.  

In the film i was 8814, Hanna sits down at 92 years old to personally narrate her story in breathtaking detail. She recounts the childhood experience of seeing Hitler parade through her hometown, the heartbreaking journey of discovering her parent’s fate, facing the bitter truth, and turning her vengeful hatred to forgiveness. 

Run time: 97 minutes.

Following the screening, there will be a talkback with directors David Peters and Kathi Peters.
