Holocaust Testimonials by Henry Kolber

Henry Kolber (Larry Feinstein's uncle) was 17 years old when the Nazis took over Poland and began deporting Jews to the concentration camps. Because Henry was a carpenter's apprentice, the Nazis put him to work instead of putting him to death. In the late 1980s Henry started sharing his story of what happened in the camps. He testified in Germany at the war crimes trials, and shared information with Elie Weisel and Simon Wiesenthal. His story is worth watching.

I Have Never Forgotten You

After surviving the horrors of the Holocaust, architect Simon Wiesenthal dedicated the rest of his life to hunting down Nazis who escaped prosecution after the war. This documentary details his life and his work.

I Have Never Forgotten You is a comprehensive look at the life and legacy of Simon Wiesenthal, the famed Nazi hunter and humanitarian. Narrated by Academy Award winning actress Nicole Kidman, it features interviews with longtime Wiesenthal associates, government leaders from around the world, friends and family members--many of whom have never discussed the legendary Nazi hunter and humanitarian on camera. Previously unseen archival film and photos also highlight the film. What was the driving force behind his work? What kept him going when for years the odds were against his efforts? What is his legacy today, more than 60 years after the end of World War Two?
