World Premiere in Israel of Newest Moriah Films Documentary, "Against the Tide" - Narrated by Dustin Hoffman

World Premiere in Israel of Newest Moriah Films Documentary, "Against the Tide" - Narrated by Dustin Hoffman

Against the Tide
The Story of America during the Holocaust

A Moriah Films Production

Against the Tide is a compelling film that documents what happened in the United States during theHolocaust, highlighting how a young activist, Peter Bergson, challenged Washington and the establishment Jewish organizations to demand that the rescue of Europe’s Jews become a toppriority for American Jews.

Through a never before seen 1977 interview, Bergson gives a first-hand account of what occurred. The more successful he became in attracting support from important non-Jewish members ofCongress and Hollywood personalities such as Ben Hecht, Edward G. Robinson and Paul Muni, the more threatened and resentful Jewish establishment leaders became.

Only the ultra Orthodox Vaad Hatzala, led by Rabbis Aaron Kotler and Eliezer Silver worked with him.

Against the Tide addresses the attitudes of President Roosevelt and his senior advisors, who used the pretext of winning the war against the Nazis to block any Jewish immigration to theU.S. and juxtaposes the events in America with heart-wrenching heroic stories of the doomed Jews of Europe and the leaders of Polish Jewry who had faith that their powerful brothers andsisters in the United States would somehow be able to save them.

For more information about scheduling a premiere of "Against The Tide" please contact: Janice Prager, National Director for Development at 310.772.2426 or jprager@wiesenthal.net
