Sometimes remembering a war is not about the soldiers that fought it

Today is International Holocaust Remembrabce Day. Typically, its here and gone before I even realize its happening. Today someone reminded me so I'm posting a blog that i had been meaning to for awhile.
This is Frank. I met him while doing a little video work for the Holocaust Speakers Bureau.

He's one of the lucky ones who managed to get out of germany. When he was eight years old the situation for Jewish people in Oppeln Germany was very ominous indeed. Franks family decided to emigrate to the US. Luckily they were able to.
Frank was only allowed to take one thing with him. He decided to take his companion, his teddy bear.
Guess how old the bear in the photo is...

All right, for everyone who donated up to (and including) $50...
P-38 can openers are getting shipped out today. 
(DVD's are still in-progress ....hence I'm not shipping those yet) 
I'm working on finishing and shipping the $75 (and up) donors this week.
After that's done...I'm switching my focus back to the DVD and I will head towards the finish line!
Thank you!!

Ok the insanity of the holidays is finally over. Its time to begin sending out the gifts (perks) that I promised people for supporting the film.

• For those of you who donated $25, expect your P-38 to get mailed soon. Your name will appear in lights       when the film is done.

• For those of you who donated $75 or more, I will be contacting you to determine your gift preferences.       Expect an email today or tomorrow.

• For those who chose a signed DVD as a perk, I'm working on completing the film as fast as I can. 

  I will post an update whenever I make another significant step towards that goal.

Thank you once again everyone. I hope to make you proud.
