May It is Holocaust Day, and a new documentary, endorsed by Amnesty International, tells the story of what happened in the Holocaust. Just as there has been a race to record the memories of the GIs of the Greatest Generation, the same is true of the survivors of the Holocaust.

A new documentary, called A is for Auschwitz, has been endorsed by Amnesty International and selected for several film festivals for the way it tells the story of what happened in the Holocaust. It has the feel of a home video, a weekend visit to the grandparents house in suburban Maryland, some of it put to music. There is year old Izzy Smilovitz and his year old wife, Rita.

And then we begin to hear their story. How you call a train like that An animal train and they put all the Jewish people in that train, no , no nothing. Izzy tells of the four years he spent in a slave labor camp, with only the clothing on his back and no shelter.

In a matter of fact fashion, they proceed to open the memories that have been locked away for years. The young ones we’re going to take for work and labor and the old ones, they’re all burning up there.

It was unspoken, says Bernie Smilovitz. That was an area not up for discussion at all. When I first saw it, I started crying because it was stuff I had never heard.

I think they probably withheld because they just wanted to protect us from those atrocities and from that horror. People would come up to us after they’d seen the film, says Donna Smilovitz, people of every , and would be crying and would talk to us about their grandparents. There were some universal themes somehow encapsulated in Zach’s film that touched people who weren’t just Jewish. And the baby was crying, but I pushed it in the oven because he was staring at me. And I had to put it alive in the oven so I have all these bad dreams about that. I just learned what we’ll do to survive, says Zach Smilovitz.

And what they did is remarkable. It’ll always be in the family.
