non-Aryan

Overview

A recent article in the New York Times revealed that during the 1930's and 1940's administrators at Columbia University restricted the hiring of refugee, Jewish medical doctors by severely limiting the number of "non-Aryans" on their staff. Inspired by that revelation, the following is a cinematic tribute, a portait of another "non-Aryan" who was not a physician and arrived in the USA in 1955.
