DESCRIPTION:Documentary film by Derri Berkani  Jews and Muslims have often lived and 
 acted in harmony.  During WWII, Muslims in occupied France protected Jews 
 from deportation to Nazi death camps.  The Paris mosque became a reufge for 
 anyone hiding from the German occupiers, including Jews, many of them 
 children.  The mosque's rector even provided false birth certificates 
 "proving" that Jews were Muslims.  Solidarity between Jews and Muslims 
 flourished beyond the mosque.  The film's director found a leaflet 
 distributed among Algerian workers after Paris police conducted the first 
 massive roundup of Jews.  It said: "The Jews are our brothers, and their 
 children are like our own children."  Dr. Annette Herskovits, who survived 
 the holocaust as a child in France thanks to a clandestine rescue network, 
 will present the film, tell her own story, and speak about the vital and 
 little known role played by Muslims from France's coloniews in teh struggle 
 against teh Nazis.\n
