SPECIAL SCREENING
One year ago, “A Promise To Our Fathers”, premiered in Las Vegas. It is the story of Holocaust survivors Helen and Abe Greenberg, who, after losing everything but each other, began a new family after the war. It's also the story of Bill Pollard, the Greenberg’s neighbor and a World War II hero, who was involved in the liberation of Dachau. In the past year our film has been viewed around the world and we have been thrilled with the impact it has had. Because we produced the film to keep a promise to our fathers to never forget, and to use the film to educate students about the Holocaust, we have decided to open the film for a special screening this week to commemorate Abe’s freedom from the N***s 76 years ago.
We hope you will take this opportunity to learn from the important story we have told and watch “A Promise To Our Fathers”, which will be streaming from February 1 through February 4. We would appreciate hearing from you after you view the film.

"A Promise To Our Fathers" premiered Sunday to a full house at the Las Vegas Jewish Film Festival. It was so amazing to see the culmination of so much work and effort. Most important was to tell the stories of Abe and Helen Greenberg and Bill Pollard. A promise kept.
Next step...sharing the film in schools and taking it to film festivals around the country. Keep track of showings on our web page www.apromisetoourfathers.com or our page. Second showing in Las Vegas to soon be announced!

In 1958, two nine-year-old boys meet as neighbors and become best friends. Their fathers each experienced the hell of war, one as a victim, the other as a soldier and liberator. It was a promise to their fathers to share their family story to make sure the world never forgets.
Sixty-one years later, we are near the finish line to keep our promise, but the completion of the film will also be the beginning of a new journey...to bring the film to schools and to use it to combat anti-Semitism. Hope you'll stay with us on this journey!

Sixty-one years later, a documentary was produced to share their story. At a time when anti-Semitism is growing daily, we hope our story can bring light into the world.
