This allows people young and old to understand how lives were affected during the holocaust. It has a tremendous impact without a lot of graphic photos. Children as young as 9 or 10 can watch with their parents or class to see the holocaust from a child’s point of view, and hear how important it is to persevere and move on after a tragedy. Remarkably powerful but gentle treatment of a horrifying part of history.

Holocaust survivors, Marion, her brother, Albert, and their mother, Ruth, present with a beautiful resilience to the horrible life they managed to live to survive. One can picture/feel the pain/fear and miserable existence of the Jewish people as they were manipulated by the Nazis as if they were garbage that could be disposed of at a whim. I thought this was an excellent testimony which gives hope of victory over evil to a needy world today.
