An Evening With Aviva Slesin

Aviva Slesin has worked in film for 28 years, first as a film editor and then as a producer/director of award-winning documentaries. Her poignant documentary film, SECRET LIVES: Hidden Children & their Rescuers During WW II, tells the complex and emotional story of a small number of Jewish children who were saved from the Nazis by non-Jews who, at great personal risk, took them into their homes as an extraordinary act of human decency. Whether hidden for months or years, the experience affected both the hidden children and their rescuers profoundly and forever and is the focus of a new documentary produced, directed and narrated by Aviva Slesin, herself a former hidden child during World War II.

Aviva Slesin won an Academy Award for The Ten Year Lunch: The Wit and Legend of the Algonquin Round Table. She has also produced and directed many other documentaries that have all aired on PBS, TBS, or HBO.
