Inspiring Film Showing Friday, May 12th
At the Bemidji Senior Center from 3-5pm
“The Unimaginable Journey of Peter Ertel“ is about the extraordinary odyssey of a German amateur violinist who becomes a reluctant soldier in Hitler’s army and defies overwhelming odds to not only survive World War II, but to become a U.S. Government agent. Then, after immigrating to Ohio, he begins a 25-year career with a small company owned by Orthodox Jews. Peter Ertel, 95 at the time of filming, tells his own incredible and inspiring life story. This is an unprecedented film narrative of that historic period, which has newfound relevance to our current times.
Funds from our Combating Senior Isolation Grant awarded by Dancing Sky AAA has paid for the showing of this film. We are striving to reach as many seniors locked in isolation by offering as many different venues as we can.
Popcorn and coffee will be offered and a freewill offering will be accepted.
