Adam Nelson: The Survivor Project

Adam Nelson continues his involvement in film. He participated in the creation of a documentary about local Holocaust survivors and sent me a link to the trailer of this must-see film, which I have posted below. (You can not view the link from school computers.) Perhaps we can get Adam to give a showing at Miller South.

Adam writes: "Last year, Pennies for People and the Holocaust Education Federation of the Akron Jewish Federation appointed me to direct their documentary, The Survivor Project. It was an incredible project to produce and it was premiered last April. There were nearly 400 people at the premier."
