Director's Note
"As a child of a Holocaust survivor - my father- there were always holes in his life story. As I learned more about the Holocaust I tried to fill in the blanks. My father’s escape from France is a story not unlike the movie Casablanca. However, I realized that all my father’s murdered family did not have proper graves. Stolpersteine are small stones with birth and death dates which are placed at the last residence of the person. My father’s family was in both Belgium and Poland when war broke out. I have tasked myself with attesting to their lives. I’ve set nearly a dozen. My labor and luck are available to you for your loved ones."
