The Jewish Cardinal will be a feature film at the Savannah Jewish Film Festival on Sunday, January 25th at 7pm. Following the film will be a special discussion featuring Rabbi Robert Haas and Bishop Kevin Boland. The Jewish Cardinal tells the amazing true story of Jean-Marie Lustiger, the son of Polish-Jewish immigrants, who maintained his cultural identity as a Jew even after converting to Catholicism at a young age, and later joining the priesthood. Quickly rising within the ranks of the Church, Lustiger was appointed Archbishop of Paris by Pope Jean Paul II and found a new platform to celebrate his dual identity as a Catholic Jew, earning him both friends and enemies from either group. When Carmelite Nuns settle down to build a convent within the cursed walls of Auschwitz, Lustiger finds himself a mediator between the two communities - and may be forced at last to choose his side. youtube/watch?v=zsycptpSwec
