An Auschwitz Album Story with filmmaker Q&A

An Auschwitz Album Story shares the extraordinary survivor story of Mike and Joe Kreitenberg and their life-changing discovery in the Auschwitz Album: the only existing photographs of their family and neighbors who were lost in the Holocaust. The album represents both unimaginable loss and the hope for new beginnings.

An Auschwitz Album Story examines the Auschwitz Album as one of the greatest Jewish artifacts in history, while also recounting the chilling story of Mike and Joe, their miraculous survival from Auschwitz and shocking discovery of their family’s photos in the album. The documentary masterfully weaves together archival footage, in-depth interviews with Kreitenberg family members and experts on the Holocaust and Auschwitz Album, and skilled re-enactments.
