In 2011, Glenn Kurtz's aunt re-discovered a postcard from her parents from their European vacation in the summer of 1938. They had gone to Europe for a six-week vacation with friends. They visited England, France, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, passed through Germany, and made a side trip to their birthplace, the thriving, predominantly Jewish town of Nasielsk, Poland. They had no clue that their town would soon almost cease to exist. Fewer than one hundred of three thousand Jewish inhabitants would survive the destruction of Nasielsk by the Nazis in 1939. Unknowingly, Glenn Kurtz's grandfather had caught on 16mm film the only known moving images of these people. When the film was found, and then restored, Glenn Kurtz donated it to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and began an odyssey to find out as much as he could about Nasielsk's lost Jewish population. When he met eighty-six year old Maurice Chandler, a thirteen-year-old boy in the film, Glenn realized he had created a bridge between the two worlds. Eventually Maurice helped him locate seven other survivors and their memories, together with the film, have become a lasting memorial to a vibrant town and its inhabitants who did not know they were on the brink of extinction.
