Stories of “Schindler’s List” told by the survivors themselves. Accompanied by over 100 photographs. Signed and dated by the author Elinor Brecher.
Stories of over thirty “Schindler’s List” survivors told directly from the survivors themselves. Those survivors who appear at the end of the film “Schindler’s List” with their real faces, tell their personal story – how they entered the wonderful “List”, their daily survival during the war, building the new life after, and about the exciting meetings with Schindler after the war. Some of them survived the Holocaust alone, others survived with their children, and sometimes with their parents, after the war their lifestyles and occupations changed from one end to the other – a multi-millionaire developer in New Jersey, a tailor from Cleveland who works in a basement, a retired New York café violinist, a fabric store owner in Baltimore, a cantor in Pittsburgh, a famous commercial photographer in Manhattan, and others. Some are observant, others “liberated”, some cling to the past and its memories, others preferred to forget and concentrate on building a new life, some managed to put the suffering behind them and enjoy every moment, others are still immersed in their suffering, common to all: Oskar Schindler gave them the opportunity for a new life. Accompanied by over 100 photographs of Schindler’s survivors during and after the war.
