ABOUT THE FILM999: The Forgotten Girls (https://www.999themovie.com/) Synopsis: This documentary chronicles the untold story of 999 mostly teenage girls betrayed by their government. Told that by volunteering for "work" they would fulfil their patriotic duty, these innocent young women willingly bid their families farewell. Under the cloak of deceit, they were transported on a one-way ticket to Auschwitz. The few who survived endured more than three years in the death camp. Meet the last living survivors of the First Jewish Transport and learn their story. Best-selling author and historian Heather Dune Macadam has adapted her acclaimed book 999 into a powerful documentary that sheds light on a wrenching true story. In March 1942, nearly 1,000 young Slovak Jewish women, mostly teenagers, told by their government that they were embarking on a volunteer work assignment, were instead illegally deported to Auschwitz on what was the first Jewish transport to the Nazi death camp. Rather than strictly focus on the suffering and death experienced by most of the girls, Macadam tells stories of a small group who survived against all odds, even under unimaginable conditions that lasted more than three grueling years. A film of deep research and vivid detail, 999: The Forgotten Girls ensures that these women will no longer be a historical footnote.WATCH THE TRAILERABOUT THE FILMMAKERHeather Dune Macadam (Writer/Director) has spent over 20 years researching and interviewing families, witnesses, and survivors of the first official transport to Auschwitz.
