The Next Generation

In 2009, when Rachael Cerrotti was a 20-year-old college student with dreams of becoming a photojournalist, she began conducting "informal storytelling sessions" with her grandmother Hana Dubova, believing one day she might utilize the material in some way. Cerrotti knew her grandmother's life had been upended at age 13 by the encroaching 1939 Nazi invasion of her hometown Prague, and that Dubova was the only one in her family to survive the war -- her younger brother and parents were murdered in the death camp Sobibor.
