Description
Join us for a review of the rough cut of Never Say No To An Invitation, the 2023 documentary sharing the inspiring story of Spokane resident, Carla Peperzak. During WWII, Carla joined the Dutch resistance as a teenager and helped dozens of fellow Jews by forging ID cards or finding safe haven from the German invaders and their Dutch enablers.
Growing up in Amsterdam, Carla’s family attended the same Reform temple as Anne Frank, and she was friends with Anne’s sister Margot. During the Nazi occupation, Carla lost three-quarters of her extended family in the Holocaust even though she fought vigilantly to help others survive. Working through the horrors and pain she experienced, she began her calling to speak out and continues this work today. Even at 99 years-old, she reminds us all of the critical need to respect one another, inspiring each of us to never remain silent.
Following the screening, there will be a Q&A with the producers, Clement Lye and Kristine Hoover of Gonzaga University. Join us for an unforgettable showing, inviting conversation, and active engagement to help refine the telling of this beautiful true story.
