Wilfrid Israel, owner of the largest department store in Berlin in the 1930s, was a key architect of the Kindertransport, yet almost a complete enigma. Why is so little known of this essential figure? Join us for a screening of The Essential Link: The Story of Wilfrid Israel, which uncovers his remarkable story and the reason it has disappeared from history. Followed by a Q&A with director Yonatan Nir. Please note that a link to stream the film online will be sent out on the Monday prior for you to watch before the discussion.
