Youtube Channel

Spreading awareness near and far.

Our YouTube channel hosts a recorded presentation by Irene Gut Opdyke, a Polish rescuer who visited Fort Wayne in the 1990s, and the 1991 documentary We Must Remember, featuring oral testimonies of Fort Wayne Holocaust survivors. Originally distributed by the Fort Wayne Jewish Federation and Congregation Achduth Vesholom, the documentary is now available through our YouTube channel in its complete version, as well as in segments suited for classroom use.
