April 9 · 7:00 PM · Parish Hall

Join us for a viewing and discussion of 

Defying the Nazis - The Sharps’ War

, led by film maker Artemis Joukowsky. Co-produced by Ken Burns for PBS, this 2016 film tells the inspiring story of Joukowsky’s grandparents, Unitarian Minister Waitsill Sharp and his wife, Martha Sharp, of Wellesley, MA, who boldly committed to a dangerous mission in Europe during WWII.  Over two years they helped save scores of imperiled Jews and refugees fleeing Nazi occupation. 

The Sharps’ War

 was one of both resistance and resilience.
