On April 11, 2018, Holocaust Remembrance Day, we introduced "Where Life Leads You," a 24-minute film about 10 Holocaust survivors' experiences in the concentration camps and how they started a new life on Staten Island.
Today, we announce the beginning of the "Where Life Leads You" video series, which allows each of the survivors to tell the viewer their own story of survival and life. Because so often, the Holocaust becomes just a subject we read about in a textbook, but by having our hearts broken with these survivors, we can better understand the scope of this history.
The first video is about Gabi Held, who survived Bergen-Belsen with his mother and two brothers, and later became a boxer.
All 15 videos in the series will be shown on SILive, one every two weeks.
