A Life Well Lived: An Account of David Kaufmann

In the 1930s, David Kaufmann operated a small store in a Nebraska town. As Hitler gained power, Kaufmann used his limited resources and persistent effort to help over 200 Jewish men, women, and children find safety in America. Through interviews with descendants and archival records, this film uncovers an remarkable rescue story rooted in the American Midwest.
