In honor of National Holocaust Day, Saturday, Jan. 27, WKTV will be

showcasing three documentaries, featuring stories of Jewish families who lived in

Germany and surrounding countries during the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.

Starting at 6:30 p.m., we will be airing Scattered Seeds. This film tells the story of

two Holocaust survivors who were hidden in Nazi-ruled Europe for several years

until they migrated United States. Family and friends of these hidden children

sacrificed their own fates in hope that one day they would get to live fruitful lives.

At 7:30 p.m., we will be airing Hidden Treasures, a documentary that tells the story

of five families and their efforts to smuggle family heirlooms-hidden treasures-out of

Germany and Poland during World War II.

At 8 p.m., will be the documentary The Locket. Director Margaret Bilinsky relates

the experiences of her family in Nazi Germany in the 1930s. A locket that belonged

to an aunt who was killed in the Holocaust serves as a physical reminder of those

who did not survive.
