Film Screening: They Survived Together
In commemoration of Yom Ha’Shoah on Monday, May 6, the library will present at 7 p.m. the Emmy-winning film, They Survived Together in the Mackay Room. They Survived Together is a documentary film about the incredible, true story of the survival of the Neiger family, as they desperately try to stay together as a family while escaping the Nazi invasion of Poland.
The Neiger family lived a peaceful life in Krakow's Jewish community when the arrival of World War II changed their lives forever. When Nazi soldiers forced the family from their home into the harsh life of the Ghetto, they made a vow to escape as a family. But when circumstances forced them to separate from older brother Ben, their will to survive was put to the test.
