In SWIMMING IN AUSCHWITZ (2nd Release), six Jewish women who survived the Holocaust — Eva Beckmann, Erika Jacoby, Rena Drexler, Lili Majzner, Renee Firestone and Linda Sherman — share testimony of their time in Auschwitz. Demonstrating the Nazis' failure to dehumanize and crush the will of Jewish prisoners, the women's stories reveal the power of laughter and community, even in the face of evil.s In the companion film AFTER AUSCHWITZ, the same six women recount how they have built their lives since the war, while seeking a way to understand their trauma and loss.
