“My grandparents survived the Holocaust but they never talked about it. Years after both their deaths, I discovered a memoir my grandmother had written in the last years of her life, and I finally learned their story. “Yizkor” uses my grandmother’s own words, along with animation, archival material, and present-day Super 8 footage, to tell that story, one of survival and resilience in the face of crushing loss.” - Director Ruth Fertig
