Angels Too Soon: The School Fire of '58 — A Chicago Stories Documentary
Our Lady of the Angels was an extremely tight knit, largely Italian parish in a vibrant community that flourished on Chicago’s West Side. But in 1958, tragedy struck when a fire broke out in the basement at Our Lady of the Angels and tore through parts of the building, trapping students and teachers in a terrifying inferno. The blaze killed 92 children and three nuns, shook a city’s faith, and stunned Chicago — and the nation — with sorrow. Now, 65 years later, survivors tell their story.
