Latvia's Academy Award Nominee
Žanis Lipke was a completely ordinary Latvian blue-collar worker who had his share of worry and problems. Yet, as soon as the German occupation regime began its bloody repressions against Riga's Jews, he made the hardly simple, but humane decision that could prove lethal not only to himself but also to his family. He began to shelter Jews in his own home.
Filmmaker Davis Simanis recounts the true story of Zanis and Johanna Lipke. The couple was recognized as Righteous among the Nations by Yad Vashem for saving dozens of jews.
