Astonishing legacy, incredible story and film

I finally had the opportunity to sit and watch this entire film. What an incredible legacy you've given your family and the importance of their story (your story and those that follow!) never being forgotten. Honestly I can barely think or breathe right now. It is such a horrifying / beautiful / heartbreaking / and yet supremely brave and loving story. A brilliant tribute to your family and, of course, the importance of these stories never being forgotten.I have seen zillions of film from this time period but never have I followed the story of seven siblings in this way.YOU, created something so AMAZING.

Never Again

This is an incredible and impactful movie that really hurts to the core with how real these tragic events in our past are. Here is to hoping we don't see more tragedy like that in the coming future with out America is right now, it is sadly possible. I am so proud of the people who saved the lives of the few in this that they could, and it is beautiful to see the amount of descendants lives that are able to live because of the brace actions of a few.A true Biography from the family of survivors of the Holocaust.This is an excellent Documentary that is important for the times we have now in 2025.It is important for us to remember History and retain the knowledge of our past.

Powerful and hopeful tale of survival

An impressive work of historical research and filmmaking to uncover this remarkable story of a family sibling group after their parents are arrested in WWII and saved by common heroic farmers during the Second World War in Germany. Through the use of archival footage, moving interviews, and creative animation the director tells the story of how her family survives, is separated, then finds each other again and celebrates the simple farmers who risked their own lives to save them.The music and ancillary characters add much to the telling of this story. Where actual footage is absent the filmmaker employs creative animation techniques.
