But fellow Holocaust survivors Bill Basch, Alice Lok Cahana and Renee Firestone and the associate producers Bonnie Samotin and Elyse Katz all attended the poolside gathering, which took place on a Sunday. This isn’t how I expected to start the conversation with the people behind a Holocaust documentary. The documentary focuses on the Hungarian Jews who were targeted by the Nazis during the final stages of the Holocaust. Survivors Zisblatt, Basch, Cahana, Firestone and the late Democratic politician Tom Lantos recount on camera their own ordeals from this period in horrifying and heartbreaking detail. She returns to a moment depicted in The Last Days, when she and her daughter visit her old Hungarian village more than 50 years after the Holocaust.
