Christopher Wells’ feature documentary:
STORIES FOR MY CHILDREN’S CHILDREN:
LESSONS FROM THE HOLOCAUST
has its World Premiere in person at the Catalina Film Festival,
following the documentary shorts block “For My Kids.”
STORIES FOR MY CHILDREN’S CHILDREN is an incredibly poignant and deeply personal series of recollections
passionately told by Sarah Rolnick, the daughter of two Holocaust survivors, about her parents’ experiences during
the Holocaust. Sarah carries with her stories of hope—her mother’s family hid in a barn for two years after the Nazis
took over Poland thanks to farm owners who were willing to take the risk—and unimaginable hardship—her father’s
first wife and children were shot and killed when he was sent to a concentration camp.
The film is impactful. and profoundly human and filled with invaluable life lessons that will
resonate with viewers, encouraging them to look inward and reflect on their perspectives of
their own lives and challenges.
