That song at the end should win many Grammys
This should be required viewing! Beautiful!
Cantor Wisnia married our younger daughter. His son who is also on the movie was our Rabbi when we lived in NJ. They are beautiful kind caring people. What a beautiful voice the Cantor had.
This is the best documentary I have ever watched.
What a heartbreaking but beautiful story. I met Cantor years ago and cried. When he died, I cried. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
I cried no less than 5 times when seeing this the first time. Quite possible a lot more lol.
David’s son Eric just passed away last week two days after Yom Kippur. Eric was the Rabbi, who married my ex husband and I in NJ and was so full of love from Life and everyone. Watching this video will tell you how he got there and why he was such a good person.
Thank you to all who had a part in making this beautiful and heart wrenching film. I grew up in Levittown and went to my friend, Anita's, Bat Mitzvah at Temple Shalom in the early 70s. She is now a Cantor, too. I imagine Saba was probably at the same service. The film brought me, again, to tears from the horror and pain-- as well as the hideous parallels with the re-emergence of rampant anti-semitism, something I will never understand. But it also took me back to my home town, and reminded me of all the Jewish friends I had growing up there, and how close they were to these horrors. Seeing Saba's Country Club kitchen and dining room took me back to all those treasured memories. Thank you, again. Bless you all.
I saw this documentary on PBS. Extraordinarily. Sad, poignant, yet eventually hopeful.
❤❤❤❤❤ Thanks for sharing Saba with us.
I just watched this on PBS and I’m in tears. What an amazing life and Soo grateful that it was documented for all to see for generations to come. We must NEVER forget. God bless them all❤️
I cried while watching this wonderful documentary. People need to know the truth. Thank you for this hopeful message to humanity. God bless you and yours! ❤
Wow beautiful. Thank you so
much for sharing the stories
Beautiful, heartbreaking, and inspiring. Saba’s music and spirit will live forever. Just saw this on PBS. Thanks for sharing it here so I can share it with others…
What an extraordinary man, and an extraordinary life. It was an honor to watch this film. ❤
The arts that kept them alive, barely and only by chance, drew from a deep and rich culture which was in the process of being extinguished, one person by one person. It's a theme throughout this story, along with the story of personal survival and triumph. Thank you to the artists, on screen and behind the camera, who put this film together.
Incredibly profound and moving. Thankyou for telling this story of the possibility of true survival.... which is, of course, going on to have a fulfilling life.i will be at tge camps later in the year, to honour the survivors I nursed in Melbourne....a great privelidge.....
Breathtaking, heartwarming…
Thanks so much for your comment :)

I can't fathom how anyone who was a prisoner there could later return.
