After Auschwitz, the Long March to Freedom

3m 29s

In the chaos following Auschwitz’s liberation, a group of children set out on foot under the guidance of Erno “Zvi” Spiegel. Facing extreme cold, hunger, and uncertainty, they relied on one another to survive. Their journey was marked by small acts of kindness, devastating loss, and the determination to find home again.

Funding for the PBS presentation of THE LAST TWINS provided by The Sylvia A. and Simon B. Poyta Programming Endowment to Fight Antisemitism.
