Watch Trailer Buy tickets

From Aviva Kempner, the director of THE LIFE AND TIMES OF HANK GREENBERG, YOO-HOO, MRS. GOLDBERG and ROSENWALD, comes her most personal film: the inspirational story of her mother and uncle’s incredible survival during World War II, told in their humorous and moving testaments given to the Shoah Foundation. From their idyllic Jewish childhood in Poland, they share how they survived their wartime experiences, the elation of their reunion in Berlin and finally their inspiring lives after liberation: as artist Helen Ciesla Covensky and businessman and philanthropist David Chase.
