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). |
