A fascinating tale of the ingenuity of man in the face of danger

Survival sometimes becoming what you hate. "Who Shall Live: The Wilhelm Bachner Story" tells the tale of William Bachner, a Jewish Engineer through his own cunning, saved dozens of Polish Jews from the camps by helping them pose as Aryan workers and fought back against Nazi occupation in their own way. Drawing on interviews with Bacner himself and the families of the men he saved, "Who Shall Live" is a fascinating tale of the ingenuity of man in the face of danger.
