Holocaust survivors living in Britain today tell their stories in BBC2's The Last Survivors
How do you live a normal life after you have survived history’s darkest hour?
This powerful and emotional documentary film, The Last Survivors, tells the stories of some of Britain’s remaining Holocaust survivors, including Manfred Goldberg (above, who holds a picture of his younger brother who went missing during their imprisonment at a concentration camp).
All were children when captured by the Nazis and all have horrific tales of loss and hardship as they witnessed humanity at its worst.
The survivors reflect on how being part of the Holocaust has affected their daily lives and how they have coped with the memories. They detail their attempts to cope with the ensuing anger, trauma and pain.
‘I haven’t been able to cry,’ says survivor Susan Pollack. ‘I think the crying would have no end.’
