From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One Survivor Remembers is a 1995 documentary film by Kary Antholis in which Holocaust survivor Gerda Weissmann Klein recounts her six-year ordeal as a victim of Nazi cruelty. Rendered in a deceptively simple manner, the film explores the tragedy of Weissmann’s experience in with great intimacy. By the end of the war she had lost her parents, brother, home, possessions, and community; even the dear friends she made in the labor camps, with whom she had shared so many hardships, were dead. Weissmann also finds hope and kindness in the most unexpected places. Weissmann's story is a journey of survival through one of the most devastating events in the history of mankind.
The film won the Academy Award for Documentary Short Subject (1995) [1] and the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Information Special (1994-95). In 2005, the film was offered by the Southern Poverty Law Center as part of a Teaching Tolerance curriculum for high school teachers to teach their students about the realities of the Holocaust.
