Zev Kedem
Schindler's List: A Survivor Celebrates Life
The remarkable saga of Zev Kedem's life began when the Nazis entered Krakow and sent him to Auschwitz. From the time he was eight years old until he was liberated at 11, Kedem endured six concentration camps, and finally survived by being placed on Oskar Schindler's now-famous list. A documentary filmmaker who consulted on and appeared in Steven Spielberg's Oscar-winning Schindler's List, Kedem shares the extraordinary true story of survival, comradery, and courage that has inspired the world. What he ultimately learned was that one's time on earth is precious and none of it should be wasted.
