Jean Stoler Wants to Memorialize Her Parent’s Journey After the Holocaust

Jean Stoler is working with a film crew to document the journey of her Holocaust survivor parents, who came to the US when Jean was barely two years old and rebuilt their lives. Jean will journey into the past by taking her sister, kids, grandkid, and film crew back to the displaced persons camp where she was born, to celebrate 80 years since its liberation. Sina Basila Hickey spoke with Jean about her family, this journey, and her take on the current political situation.
