ABOUT

Anchor Wolf Blitzer, the child of Holocaust survivors and grandson of four victims of the Holocaust, takes viewers on a journey through the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC, guided by the museum’s director Sara Bloomfield and audio and video recordings of his own father’s Holocaust survival story.

This documentary takes viewers beyond the walls of the museum, interviewing a leading historian, a Holocaust survivor, and a young museum volunteer to look at how the Holocaust is remembered, and forgotten, in today’s America. An ancient hate ignited the Holocaust, but it was ignorance that fueled it, and with ignorance and hate on the rise, the history of the Holocaust must be remembered by all to ensure that nothing like it can ever be allowed to happen again.
