IT ALL STARTED WITH A STORY

Evelyne Appel was a child in Paris when the war broke out. She and her family fled covertly through France and she eventually had a daring escape through the Swiss Alps. Her family joined the resistance to assist other Jews to safety. Grandson Matt is determined to share the stories of the Holocaust with 3G.

Roberto fled Milan to remote Northern mountains to hide from the Nazis, where his family feared discovery by Nazis and complicit civilians. Julia and Ollala have faced ignorance living in Madrid and now as students on university campuses.

In the earliest parts of the war, Betty and her family dodged Nazi arrest from their home in Germany and their Poland, but not before enduring true horrors. She became a renowned photojournalist for the resistance. Granddaughter Eva Lauer carries the memory of her sister lost in the war.

Agi Simon endured the horrors of war in Romania/Transylvania and losing her family before fleeing to Israel, fighting for Israeli independence. Her family's resistance during the war was an act of resilience and pride. Granddaughter Yael survived the 2nd intifada living in Jerusalem and other antisemitism in Israel.

On the final front of the war in Hungary, Lily Ebert promised her father to protect her younger siblings. By the time they arrive at Auschwitz, the gravity of the situation sets in and that promise is called into question. Lily fights for her life through starvation, illness, and Death March surviving to eventually build a life in England. Today, her great-grandson Dov Forman carries her legacy on by fighting antisemitism on social media as a tiktok star.

In perhaps the most well-known story of the Holocaust, Elie Wiesel's experiences codified in Night, follow a Romanian teenager swept up in a ethno-religious war. He loses everything and fights for his humanity in the concentration camps. Decades later, his family still grapple with the decisions that Elie and so many were forced to make for survival.
