Through the First Person program, Holocaust survivors have the opportunity to share their remarkable personal stories of hope, tragedy, and survival with thousands of visitors at the Museum. This program was recorded on June 9, 2016. It features Julie Keefer, who was born in Lwów, Poland, on April 19, 1941. She survived the Holocaust in hiding.

Wonderful how Julie speaks about her earliest memory - she was not quite 3yrs of age. I too have early memories - it is definitely possible for high impact incidents to imprint themselves on the memories of the very young. I have several from before I became fully verbal. Julie is inspiring as are all who speak on this marvellous First Person program. Her story is another that would make an excellent film. Thank you.
