The film combines rare historic footage, animated flashbacks, and family photographs to illustrate the horrors she experienced.

For the next six-and-a-half-years of her childhood, Marion struggled through the Holocaust, surrounded by death, starvation, filth and disease.

At one point, her mother had somehow scrapped up bits of wood and a potato and decided to cook up a meager soup on her bunk in the barracks.

Marion lectures to adult groups, synagogues, churches and civil organizations, but her favorite audience is an auditorium full of students.

“You, the students, are the very last generation that will hear the story first hand,” Marion explains to her eager listeners, “I therefore ask you to please, please, share my story with your friends and with your family and someday with your children.” When Schindler's List was recently screened for high school students in Oakland, California, they were reported to have heckled and laughed.

Marion, who has dedicated her life to educating the public about the Holocaust, especially students, was the ideal subject for his documentary.
