About the event

Local hero Joseph O’Connor thrillingly retells the extraordinary true story of Monsignor Hugh O’Flaherty and his mission to save thousands of Jews in Nazi-occupied Rome. With the help of his ‘Choir’ of associates, this man from Kerry, who spoke seven languages, risked his life to  operate an escape route for Jews and Allied soldiers.  A beautiful and nuanced thriller in which the Rome of 1944 is as much a character as the main protagonists. €20
