"It is important [to talk about it] in order to develop the conviction that war is not a good thing, in order to seek peace and try to talk about it, in order to think that it is us who are responsible for this Earth and for passing it on, undamaged, to the next generations."
Alina Dabrowska, 96, Auschwitz survivor. We met Alina at Ravensbrück in 2018 while filming the commemoration of the liberation ceremony & interviewing survivors. She shared with us her story & how she survived the death march from Auschwitz.

Today, Alina continues to speak out and educate the next generation about what happened at Auschwitz.
"Those children will grow up one day and they will be the ones deciding about how to rule the world," she says.
