Three child Holocaust survivors. One extraordinary discovery. In this powerful 7-minute short film, produced by AD Media for the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies, three Holocaust survivors share their haunting childhood memories of deportation to Auschwitz. Decades later, in Sydney, they met through the Child Holocaust Survivors group—only to realise they had shared the same liberation train journey. This moving documentary captures a rare moment of connection and survival, highlighting the enduring impact of memory, resilience, and reunion.
