Judy Sleed escaped the Nazis as a child in Budapest, in 1944, after her family was taken. She shared her harrowing story publicly for the first time in a film titled "I Am Judit," which will be shown at the Jewish Center of the Hamptons, in East Hampton, on Thursday evening at 6.

Ms. Sleed, who lived in East Hampton, died on June 17 at the age of 91. A full obituary will appear in a future issue of The Star.

The film was directed and produced by Christiane Arbesu. 

J.C.O.H. advises that tickets must be bought ahead of time on its website, jcoh.org/judit. The cost is $9 for members and $18 for non-members.
