A Promise to My Father: One Survivor's Journey through the Holocaust

Re-trace the steps of Holocaust survivor Israel Arbeiter as he returns to Poland and Germany for the final time to look for items buried in 1939 in the basement of his old home in Plock, Poland as the German army advanced. Also travel with "Izzy" to Treblinka death camp where his parents and younger brother were murdered and to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where "Izzy" used the motivation of his father's final words to him to stay alive. He is reunited with those who, at great risk, helped him to stay alive. A somewhat strained impromptu meeting with a former German soldier is also chronicled.
