PRAYER FOR THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

About the show

In 1944, a Jewish couple in Paris desperately awaits news of their missing family. More than 70 years later, the couple’s great-grandchildren find themselves facing the same question as their ancestors: “Are we safe?” Following five generations of a French Jewish family, Joshua Harmon’s Prayer for the French Republic is a sweeping look at history, home, and the effects of an ancient hatred.
