Buried in a cardboard box filled with old diaries, crumbled letters and black and white photos, one manila folder etched with bright-red cursive caught Rachael Cerrottis eye. On the front was a note written by her late grandmother, Hana Dubova, a Holocaust survivor, that read, For Rachael and Jesse, so youll know a little about my life when I was your age. For Cerrotti, a photojournalist in her early 20s whod become fascinated by her grandmothers journey fleeing the Nazis starting at just 14 years old, that letter was a permission slip, a green light to dive deeper into her grandmothers 17-year odyssey as a Holocaust refugee.

In a bitter confrontation with Poland, one of its main allies in Europe, Israel has withdrawn its top diplomatic representative in Warsaw following the ratification of a law that drastically reduces the chances of recovering property confiscated from Holocaust victims or receiving compensation. Foreign Minister Yair Lapid called for consultations on Saturday night with the Israeli charge daffaires, Tal Ben-Ari Yaalon, hours after Polish President Andrzej Duda ratified the controversial legislation after its approval in Parliament.

"The Last Days" was produced in part by the USC Shoah Foundation, which was founded to create compelling audio and visual testimony to ensure that the devastating realities of the Holocaust are not forgotten as well as giving the survivors of this historical atrocity the valuable opportunity to share their stories with the world. The Shoah Foundation was founded by Steven Spielberg in 1994, after the response to "Schindler's List," his powerful film about Oskar Schindler's work to rescue Jews from concentration camps. When that Liam Neeson-starring film won the award for Best Picture at the Oscars, Spielberg pleaded in his acceptance speech, asking educators to teach the Holocaust in schools and utilize the voices of survivors (via The Guardian).
