Who will remember the victims?

Eighty-nine-year-old Holocaust survivor Edith Westerfeld was just a young girl when she escaped the Nazi terror that claimed her family. Seventy-six years later, she returns to her small German hometown to witness the unveiling of the Stolpersteine-memorial stones laid to honor her lost loved ones.

Through historical photographs, primary documents, and powerful narrative non-fiction, Facing the Past brings history to life as Edith confronts the past and discovers the profound weight of two simple words: "I'm sorry."
