Miss Holocaust Survivor, a documentary that spotlights a unique beauty pageant that celebrates the lives of those who lived through the Nazi death camps, received the Ernst Lubitsch Award at a ceremony at the Zoo Palast theater in Berlin on Sunday.

The movie, by Radek Wegrzyn, focuses on the stories of the Holocaust survivors who took part in this pageant like no other in 2018 in Haifa, when the winner was Auschwitz survivor Tova Ringer, who was 93, as well as contestant Rita Kasimow-Brown. In the movie, the women both charm with their energy and their love for life and tell moving stories of their experiences.

While accepting the award, Wegrzyn said, “I am grateful and honored to receive this prestigious and coveted award, which bears the name of the legendary filmmaker Ernst Lubitsch and represents the ability of cinema to touch us deeply, to make us laugh, cry and inspire us. More Here

Just think we have so many people in this world that think the Holocaust did not happen!
