More on the Circle Cinema & The Movie

When we were at the theater we saw a show (more of a documentary) called "One Survivor Remembers". Although from the pictures we look pretty happy it was an interesting and of course sad story of a holocaust survivor. It was an unforgettable story and you can get more information about it here....












There is also a book written about this woman. I am going to try to get it. Her story was fascinating and I think I would enjoy the book. One of the many things the story points out to you is the simple things we all take for granted like being able to go outside whenever you want instead of hiding or keeping warm or being with your family.

"Ilse, a childhood friend of mine, once found a raspberry in the concentration camp and carried it in her pocket all day to present to me that night on a leaf. Imagine a world in which your entire possession is one raspberry and you give it to your friend." - Gerda Weissmann Klein


Of course, there is a LOT more to her story and many lessons to learn. You can look at information regarding the book here....


(The second book on this page tells the story we heard today and I am sure even more.)


The link below tells part of her story and her husbands.
