What an amazing story, brought me to tears. This guy is a true hero. He risked his life to help others escape death on daily basis. Not to mention the talent and fortitude it took to complete these documents. He is so humble that he won't display the numerous awards and metals he received saving all those children and adults. I have so much admiration for him! Thanks for sharing this 😊

How timely some of this, as to the saying history repeats itself. A valuable bunch of interviews and footage. Thank You Anderson, and all the researchers. Most importantly, thank you to the survivors who talk about the Holocaust and relate the true story as they experienced it.
