Surviving the Holocaust

One of my key life objectives is encouraging love, peace, and harmony between people and groups.  That’s the point of the “Aha—We’re all one” slide series. Here, friends present life experiences showing that in times of challenge, we all have access to inspiration from a “higher power. I call this inspiration an “Aha” Moment, and I emphasize that it doesn’t depend on one’s religion, background, status, or whatever.  On that level we can see that we’re all one, we’re all alike.

REDISCOVERING MY CHILDHOOD, Memories of a Child Survivor, is a documentary video, in which the author, Max Amichai Heppner, the child survivor in the video, revisits locales and people involved in his rescue from the Holocaust.  The process helps uncover the reasons behind the events that Max remembered but were unclear to him because he lacked an adult perspective.  The video sets a natural tone, letting witnesses talk without scripting.  It then uses crisp editing to bring out the essence of their stories.

Many aspects of Max’s survival parallel the experiences of Anne Frank, who for many years lived near Max.  Like the film based on her diary, this documentary depicts the everyday life of Jewish people in hiding—in is case on a remote farm—and contrasts it with the fear that hung over all Jews during the Nazi persecution.
