Watch more episodes of a War. Based on a true story by Varian Fry, Mary Jayne Gold and the Emergency Rescue Committee, it depicts the risks involved in helping over 2,000 refugees escape Nazi-dominated France.
One of the newest series to arrive in the NETFLIX catalog in recent days is the production “Transatlântico”. A period drama series released April 7, which follows the true story of Varian Fry, a journalist who lands in France in 1940 as part of the Emergency Rescue Committee, whose purpose is to help artists and writers escape the Nazi regime and immigrate to the United States.
While in France, Fry and American heiress Mary Jayne Gold holed up in a French villa and led efforts to help some of Europe’s most prominent artists and thinkers flee, including Hannah Arendt, Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp and Marc Chagall – all portrayed in the series “Transatlântico”.
Because of his tireless efforts to save Jewish refugees, Fry became the first American to be named a “Righteous Among the Nations” by Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust museum. This honor recognizes people who risked their own lives to save Jews during the Holocaust.
