A visionary leader and one of history’s most influential, yet under-recognized, American Jewish women, Henrietta Szold left an indelible mark on the 20th century. She founded Hadassah in 1912, creating a vital link between American women and communities in Palestine. Through this organization, she established the region’s modern healthcare system, built on a mandate to treat Arabs and Jews equally. Later, she spearheaded Youth Aliyah, an operation that rescued 11,000 Jewish children from Nazi Europe. This heartfelt documentary brings long-overdue recognition to Szold, offering a thought-provoking look at a woman who reshaped history through compassion and an unwavering belief in the power of humanity. <img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/eventive-static/3ea5087d3235eaf5f7d2b1215fef1a5e.jpg"> <img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/eventive-static/8ac4b74bd29f4932d7ee2ba2c5ae7653.jpg">
