Yom HaShoah Conversation with “Big Sonia” Director Leah Warshawski

One of the most beloved films ever shown at the Boulder Jewish Film Festival, “Big Sonia” is an astoundingly engaging profile of inimitable Holocaust survivor Sonia Warshawski.

In anticipation of Yom HaShoah, filmmaker Leah Warshawski will discuss her crowd-pleasing portrait of her grandmother, who is still sharing her remarkable story at 94, on Monday, April 20 at 4:00 pm. Kathryn Bernheimer will moderate the Zoom conversation.
