- Pierre Sauvage was born in a small village in France in 1944, among what would become as many as 5000 Jews who were helped by the collective efforts of the town, hidden from occupying Nazis by the kindly residents. This is a documentary by Sauvage that explores the supernatural good will by the people in the village. Archival footage and interviews with surviving villagers illustrate their attitude toward their God, their obedience and the actions that saved the lives of thousands of people.
- Most Americans--even many American Jews--believe that we didn't know. Many assume that we couldn't have done anything about the massacre of the Jews of Europe during World War II even if we had known. Meet Peter Bergson. A militant Jew from pre-Israel Palestine, Bergson led a controversial American effort to fight the Holocaust. This is his testimony.
- In 'We Were There: Christianity and the Holocaust' (67 min., 2011), consisting of three distinct but interconnected shorts, documentary filmmaker Pierre Sauvage ('Weapons of the Spirit') pursues his exploration of Christian rescue during the Holocaust--and of the Christian share of responsibility for the crime. 'Three Righteous Christians' (33 min., 2011) provides the eloquent testimony of three French rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust. In 'We Were There: Rev. Franklin Littell Confronts the Holocaust' (27 min., 2011), the late Rev. Dr. Littell forcefully argues that the Holocaust was and is a crisis for Christians as well as for Jews. 'An Interview with Magda Trocme' offers up the equally direct and articulate testimony of the extraordinary widow of the pastor of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, France, during the Holocaust.
