"Who Shall Live & Who
Shall Die?"
of the Holocaust during the Second World War dares to ask
"Could
the Jews of Europe have been saved?"
Who
Shall Live and Who Shall Die? by Laurence Jarvik. VHS
Videotape. The first American documentary about US and the Holocaust.
This film contains a rare filmed interview with Peter Bergson, (Hillel
Kook) and Samuel Merlin, who along with Ben Hecht organized rescue
efforts for European Jewry during World War II and were responsible in
part for the establishment of the War Refugee Board in 1944, which
saved thousands of lives and sponsored the Raoul Wallenberg mission in
Hungary as well. It was the first American film on this topic.
Controversial at first, it is now in the collection of the US
Holocaust Museum, where it is listed as indispensible.
