Follow the true story of one family’s vow to escape certain death in Nazi-occupied Kraków in They Survived Together, airing Monday, October 17 at 10 p.m. on WSBE Rhode Island PBS.
The Neiger Family was living a peaceful life in Kraków’s Jewish Community. Then, the arrival of World War II forever changed their lives.
Forced from their home into the harsh life of the Ghetto by Nazi soldiers, they hatched a plan to escape together. But when circumstances separated them from older brother Ben, their will to survive was put to the test.
Said to be one of the only families to escape and survive as an intact family, They Survived Together features first-hand accounts from Neiger siblings Cesia, Ben, Hanka, Basia, and Tosia. Together, they share their family’s daring journey to freedom and a new life in America.
