About this Event

On Tuesday, April 22, the Englewood Public Library commemorates Yom Ha'Shoah with a screening of the award-winning film 7 p.m. in the library's Mackay Room.

"They Survived Together” is a harrowing and inspirational film that traces the story of the Neiger family, one of the only families to escape and survive the Holocaust together. Showing old photographs and newspaper clippings, along with historical and archival film footage, the family takes turns sharing their recollections of one of the most terrifying experiences in history. They described living a peaceful life in a tight-knit Jewish community in Krakow, Poland, before the Nazis invaded and changed their lives forever. The siblings, consisting of Basia, Tosia, Hanka, Ben, and Cesia, recalled how their parents, Herman and Sarah, “miraculously” saved the family, helping them to escape the ghetto in 1943. As all of their friends and family were being murdered, their parents decided that they would choose the way they died if they indeed did not survive. Their mother said, “We will survive together as a family or not at all.”
