and director of the Berlin
Philharmonic Orchestra, he was in a
socially elevated position. Although
he tried to distance himself from the
Nazi regime, it was extraordinarily
difficult. Nevertheless, he was able
to help many of his Jewish musi-
cians. After the war, Furtwangler was
investigated by the Allies, who
doubted his morality. The cast
includes Harvey Keitel, Stellan
Skarsgard, and Oleg Tabakov. Born
in Budapest, Hungary, Szabo's other
films include Meeting Venus,
Offenbachs Secret and Sunshine.

from page 71
who liberated the Lithuanian sur-
vivors at Dachau; and Ganor, who
took photos after being liberated.
The photos include one of Ganor as
a young boy in a ghetto street selling
bread baked by his mother. Some
materials were obtained from the
Simon Wiesenthal Center and the Yad
Vashem Martyrs' and Heroes'
Remembrance Authority.
"I try to see what I do as educating
young people," says Ganor, whose book
has been compared to The Diary of
Anne Frank. "I want them to know
what can happen if they don't get politi-
c a lly involved. The majority of Germans
didn't vote when Hitler was elected."
Ganor, who divides his time between
the United States and Israel, has traveled
the world to speak about the experiences
described in his book, which has become
an integral part of the Holocaust educa-
tional curriculum in Germany. He tells
of the horrors of the ghetto where he
lived and the concentration camps
where he subsequently was sent.
The author, who maintains friend-
ships with people he knew from pre-
war Kovno, also relates how he assist-
ed the U.S. Army hunting for Nazi
perpetrators and how he joined the
fight in Israel's War for Independence.
Kramer, who is planning a private
family dinner for Ganor, wants to
hear his recollections of the ghetto her
parents escaped before the war ended.
Sylvia Perlman, Kramer's mother, was
able to dupe a Nazi guard into think-
ing she would meet him after he let
her sneak away, but she instead came
up with a plan to escape him as well.
Although her family had been
destroyed, Perlman convinced the
guard that other people she knew
were family members, and he released
them with her. One became her hus-
band and Zina's late father.
"It's been exciting to work on this
exhibit," says Kramer, who was too
young to remember her life before com-
ing to America in 1947. "I'm thinking
of traveling back to the area where
Sugihara's wife will be honored by the
Lithuanian government. I want to get
my children (David, 28, and Lisa, 26)
involved so they can pass all this infor-
mation down to their children."
