The Foundation places particular emphasis on
encouraging school officials to incorporate
moral courage, conflict resolution, ethics and
citizenship into school curriculum.
Our program grew out of favorable public
response to "The Other Side of Faith" a film
produced by Sy Rotter in 1990,
which describes the rescue of 13 women, men and
children, all Jewish fugitives in German
occupied Poland in 1942-1944, by a 16 year old
Polish Catholic woman, Stefania
Podgorska -
Burzminski.
The Foundation believes that by documenting
such stories, these acts of moral courage will
be remembered and honored. Through its
documentary film award program the Foundation
encourages new film productions which recognize
current acts of moral courage, underscoring the
need for honoring individuals who are making a
positive difference whenever itis
needed.
The Foundation is a
not-for-profit, non-political, educational
organization registered with the U.S. Internal
Revenue Service Code under Section
501(c)(3). |
