Dear Susan,
I am excited to be part of this scintillating virtual conversation on Thursday, March 18 about my film, Defying the N***s, Hadassah, and refugees with:
Amelie Holmstrom, Author, Holocaust Survivor, rescued by Martha Sharp
Elizabeth Gelman, Executive Director of the Florida Holocaust Museum
Rev. Jeremy Nickel, Minister of Boulder Unitarian Universalist Church
Peter Braunfeld, Holocaust Survivor, his rescue assisted by the Sharps
Artemis Joukowsky III, Director, Producer, Author
Hadassah, The Power of Women Who Do, presents:
VIRTUAL DISCUSSION: DEFYING THE N***S & HASSADAH
Thursday, March 18, 2021, 7 pm EST
$18 Donation
REGISTRATION
Watch Defying the N***s
between now and Thursday, March 18
WATCH FILM
Henrietta Szold, Founder of Hadassah, and Martha Sharp were intimate collaborators in bringing thousands of Jews to Isreal from the end of WWII to 1999. Please see this letter (full letter will be in your download folder) from Ms. Szold written to Mrs. Sharp in 1944.
Also please note: the next 2 months are crucial for the Amazon documentary algorithm. Even if you can't come to Thursday's event, can you please watch and/or review the film in the next 2 months? Then our Amazon algorithm will become much higher, making the film significantly more visible! So please help us with this.
You can also order the Defying the N***s Kindle book and review it as well.
With love,
Artemis
Defying the N***s is an account of a daring rescue mission that occurred on the precipice of World War II. Narrated by Academy Award-winner Tom Hanks and co-directed by Ken Burns, the film tells the previously untold story of Waitstill and Martha Sharp, an American minister and his wife from Wellesley, Massachusetts, who left their children behind in the care of their parish and boldly committed to a life-threatening mission in Europe.
Over two dangerous years they helped to save scores of imperiled Jews and refugees fleeing N**i occupation across Europe. With narration taken completely from the couple’s journals, Defying the N***scombines the intrigue of a spy novel with an intimate look into the lives of a husband and wife who were willing to put the well-being of strangers before that of themselves and their family.
In 2006, the Sharps were recognized at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem as “Righteous Among the Nations,” the highest honor given by the State of Israel to non-Jews. They are two of only four Americans so honored.

A second documentary option shared by our friend, Evelyn Dove:
THERE IS A FIELD is a film about Aseel Asleh, a 17-year old Palestinian citizen of Israel killed by police in October 2000. Based on interviews and primary sources collected over 15 years, the play offers a uniquely personal lens for understanding inequality as the root of state violence and impunity.
It is performed by Black Lives Matter activists and artists, who reflect upon the parallels they see between Asel’s story and the experiences of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color communities in the United States.
COMMUNITY SCREENING: Friday, March 19 at 12:30pm ET followed by the 1:45pm interview with filmmaker Jen Marlowe and one of the actors. REGISTER IN ADVANCE HERE.
There is also a week of OPEN SCREENING, Saturday, March 13, 12:00pm – Friday, March 19, 12:00pm ET for those who prefer to view the film on their own in advance of the community screening and interview. (Link and Password for the open screening will be made available in the near future). To join the interview on 3/19 you will still need to register in advance at the above link.
