THE FIRST ESCAPE OF THE HOLOCAUST: THE SURVIVORS FROM THE FIRST NAZI DEATH CAMP WHO WARNED THE WORLD

June 9th, 2025

3:00 PM ET

Our webinars are designed to increase participants’ knowledge of Holocaust history, explore and access classroom-ready content, and support instructional practice to promote student learning and understanding of this complex history and its lasting effect on the world.

Before Auschwitz, before Treblinka, there was Chelmno—the Nazis’ first extermination "camp" and the testing ground for mass murder. Though designed to leave no witnesses, against all odds two men escaped on January 19, 1942, and were the first to bear testimony to the world. Join filmmaker Lior Geller for a gripping exploration of this little-known yet pivotal chapter of Holocaust history, his decade of research into Chelmno and the courageous men who risked everything to expose its horrors, and the journey behind his new film The World Will Tremble. This webinar connects to Unit 5 on the Echoes & Reflections website.
