Nicky's Family: One man's compassion saves 600 children in wartime
Description
Hosted by the Baha'i Center of Los Angeles, the Southern California Parliament of the World's Religions (www.sccpwr.org) is organizing a free screening of the acclaimed documentary, NICKY'S FAMILY, an award-winning film based on the theme of compassion. The courageous and independent initiative of one compassionate soul, Englishman Nicholas Winton, resulted in his saving the lives of 669 mostly Jewish children from the Nazis during World War II. Reunited with half of those he saved 50 years later, Sir Nicky Winton meets their children and grandchildren, and realizes that they are all part of his "family."

The film will be screened on Saturday, September 21, during the final day of the Compassion Games, in solidarity with the UN International Day of Peace. No charge for the film but each attendee is asked to bring canned goods or a toy as a donation.
