L’dor Vador is being presented by Seth Harrison, a photojournalist with The Journal News/Lohud. Harrison and his team created this film highlighting families of local Holocaust survivors as they discuss how a lifetime of hearing the experiences of their parents and grandparents has affected their own lives. An accompanying photo exhibit will be on display June 7- 30.

Jacob Breitstein, 93, and his daughter, Grace Bennett, 54, of Chappaqua, photographed April 25, 2015. Breitstein was 17 when he arrived at Auschwitz with his brother in 1943. His brother was killed a short time later; Breitstein remained there until the camp was liberated in 1945 at the end of World War II. Photo by Seth Harrison/The Journal News

Helga Luden, 81, of New Rochelle, photographed May 11, 2015 with her daughter, Anita Greenwald, 57, of Armonk. A native of Germany, Luden was six years old when she crawled under a barbed-wire fence to escape the Nazi concentration camp in Gurs, France. She was rescued by French partisans and eventually reunited with her parents, who also survived concentration camps. Photo by Seth Harrison/The Journal News

Seth Harrison’s L’Dor Vador will be aired on Sunday at Congregation Emanu-El of Westchester, I am moved and honored anew by this ‘worth a thousand words’ pic Seth Harrison took of me and my dad. If you haven’t had a chance to view L’Dor Vador, it is a series of interviews with survivors and their children (living in Westchester) and an exhibit of many such touching photographs of us.
