    • Documentary on Regina Jonas (1902-1944) who became the first properly ordained woman rabbi in the world in 1935 whilst working in Berlin. Regina's sermons and dedication brought encouragement to persecuted German Jews, before both she and her husband, Rabbi Josef Norden, were deported to Theresienstadt concentration camp by the Nazis. Regina Jonas was murdered in Auschwitz in 1944. Only her love letters survived the Holocaust.
