Trailer Stories For My Children's Children: Lessons from the Holocaust

This is a for feature documentary Stories For My Children's Children: Lessons from the Holocaust Executive Producer Daniel Rolnick Produced & Directed by Christopher Wells Stories by Sarah Rolnick Her parents were Holocaust survivors. Her mother, a young woman at the time, and her family of five hid in a barn for two years as the Nazis took over Poland. During the winter months to stay warm they stood next to the farm animals and during the day they had to keep quiet in a hayloft so as not to be discovered. Nobody knew about their situation. Only the family who owned the farm were willing to take the risk of hiding a Jewish family from the Nazis. Discovery would surely get them all killed. Her father was not so lucky. He had a family but sadly, like many others, his first wife and children were shot and killed while he would be sent to a concentration camp to be worked to death. These are the stories told by their daughter Sarah Rolnick about her parents' experience with the Holocaust.
