About

We Shall Not Die Now was both the production company’s debut film and the first feature directed by Ashton Gleckman. At the age of 18, Ashton spent time at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. for a period of research, and began filming in March 2019. Interviews included the world’s preeminent scholar of the Holocaust, Dr. Michael Berenbaum (Director, Sigi Ziering Institute), Cantor Moshe Taube (#22 on Schindler’s List), Jack Betteil (survivor of six concentration camps), Auschwitz survivors Frank Grunwald and Ben Lesser, Ben Ferencz (the last living prosecutor of the Nuremberg Trials), and Ben Cooper (one of the last surviving liberators of the Nazi concentration camps).

The goal of We Shall Not Die Now was to create a platform for Holocaust survivors to share stories and lessons of peace, tolerance, and the dangers of hate.
