Visionary leader and one of history’s most influential, yet under-recognized, American-Jewish women, Henrietta Szold, founded Hadassah, established a healthcare system treating Arabs and Jews equally, and led Youth Aliyah, saving 11,000 children from the Nazis. This heartfelt documentary brings the incredible story of a woman who reshaped history through compassion and an unwavering belief in humanity.
