About the Event

Defying the Nazis: The Sharps’ War (2016) is an account of a daring rescue mission that occurred on the precipice of WWII. It tells the story of Waitstill and Martha Sharp, a Unitarian minister and his wife from Wellesley, Massachusetts, who left their children behind in the care of their parish and boldly committed to multiple life-threatening missions in Europe, including war-time Czechoslovakia. Over two dangerous years they helped to save hundreds of imperiled political dissidents and Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazi occupation across Europe.

In English, with English subtitles, 79 mins.
