This is the photo I wanted them to run: a picture of Dr. Corey Samuels (left) associate producer, (and grandaughter of Holocaust Survivor Dr. Henry Oertelt) and Stephanie Houser, CEO launch flix. They went with a shot of the book cover.. Come on, guys we’re trying to bring in the big donations!

Anyway, here’s a portion of Angela Gonsalves cover story, and we will post in its entity as soon as possible.

Launch flix, a Phoenix-based production company, is kicking off a $6 million fundraising campaign to develop a feature film based on a Holocaust survivor’s experiences in Nazi concentration camps.

Called “Six Million for Six Million,” the campaign’s goal is to cover the cost of film production and advertising to tell the story of the 6 million Jews who perished in the Holo­caust, said Stephanie Houser, CEO of launch flix.

The film chronicles the life of 88-year-old Henry Oertelt, author of “An Unbroken Chain: My Journey through the Nazi Holo­caust.” In his book, Oertelt highlights 18 links in the chain of events that kept him alive long enough to be freed. In Hebrew, the number 18, or “chai,” signifies life and luck.

One of the links was his optimism, which kept him moving forward. In his book, Oertelt said he saw many others perish because they gave up hope.
