I can't wait to see it. So often people get lost in the numbers - Six Million. What does it mean? We can't comprehend. Your film will help in the understanding that each victim, each survivor, was not just a number but an individual life. Martin,

Sigal Fri, 26 Mar 2010 19:26:24 +0000 http://yearslaterwewouldremember.com/?page_id=312#comment-135 That is an amazing story. I was extremely moved. I will share your site with others and have already put it in my favorites. My grandfathers both fought in the war for the Red Army. My mother was actually born under a train during the evacuation because my grandmother was kicked off as she was in labor and it would be unsanitary. She laid under a train for warmth in November 1941 and gave birth to my mother. For six months after that she followed the train tracks with my mother wearing a single boot and searched for her family whom she eventually found and introduced my mom to her sisters and grandparents. One of the things that stand out in my mind from your parent’s account is that Gestapo officer who wasn’t there when your parents turned around. It shows that there were humans on both sides of the gates and even though that officer probably committed egregious crimes in the course of his duty, maybe this one act and hopefully many others like it gave him salvation and allowed him to sleep at night. I know no one knows what came of him but “If you save one life…” May this never happen again that men have to choose between being cold blooded killers under the guise of civil service and being killed.

I am not related to the European or Jewish community in any manner. I don’t know why, but when I remember the Holocaust, and imagine the horrific pain and suffering the Jews went through under the wicked Nazis, I become very sad and am moved to tears. You must have been greatly moved and inspired by Oskar Schindler and your father, that it prompted you to make these wonderful documentaries about their great lives. It was men like Oskar Schindler and your father Olek who rose to the highest levels of humanity and love when the world around them was surrounded with extreme hate and wickedness during that period of human history. “They will be remembered forever as long as mankind exists and their names written in the hearts of men in gold.” God Bless you.

I imagine it was incredibly difficult for your father to revisit the places that are so emotionally charged for him. It's no wonder he was awarded the Righteous Among the Nations medal. It takes a very strong man to do what he did then. Martin- I would love to see the film in it’s entirety.

When I watched the film clips I felt so happy that they had survived, had a family and enjoyed a happy family life. I will always find it staggering, that god let this happen to the jewish people. I tell myself that I should not question gods purpose, god gave us all freedom to reason to know right from wrong. I believe god gives us all choices to show love not hate, shows us we all have worth, regardless of our colour or race or religion. There is only one god we all love him in our own way in our own religion. So how do some evil individuals persuade others to comit such a sin against another group of people, I think its when one group of people forget that another group of people are just as worhty of love care and respect as they are. Thats when holocaust and the like happen. So moving, their love and devotion to each other and divine
