“Beautiful loving connection to a creative family who found ways to still thrive in the throes of the early days of Hitler through their personal exodus to Switzerland and the US.” - Sandy W., Member of Temple Israel Boston

“What a wonderful story so well told with touching personal archival writings, imagery and artifacts stitched together with great research and a beautiful sentiment to recognize complicated and difficult histories.” - Caroline Toth, Archival Producer 

“It is so critical to preserve and share stories like this  for future generations for whom the Holocaust is ‘ancient history.’“ - Can Jacobson, Boston

“Charles Abelmann's film is a must see for young people everywhere. It helps to humanize the story of the holocaust in one family's journey.” - Nanette Jacobson

“Thank you for a film that touched me in so many ways. It was very well edited and we were able to read, listen and process the information given as it was slow enough to take in the information .  The relevance of everything to what is going on today is uncanny and frightening. I was moved by seeing Arthur Abelmann's care for his workers  and the aesthetics of the workplace.” - Member, Temple Israel Boston 

“I really loved the film. I loved the history and legacy of your family. I feel like this will take off.”

“Fascinating perspective rarely ever captured if at all. Thank you for sharing; so well done.”

“Legacy, privilege, loss – I found this film enlightening in that it was such a joy to learn of a family who were fortunate enough to escape the horrors of the holocaust. The choice of the three words above best illustrates the story. To learn of the education, the LOVE and depth of the family connection proves inspiring. Thank you.”

“I love the film and the drugs and the beauty of the story.”
