Really proud of the work we've been doing at Acknowledge Media of late. Here is something in honor of Veterans Day ...
Veterans Day Newsletter 11/11/19 This is "Veterans Day Newsletter 11/11/19" by Rich Polt on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.
Next week is Yom HaShoah. 2018 marks 75 years since the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, which is what this day of observance was initially timed with. The number of survivors who can provide first hand accounts of their experiences during and even before WWII is declining. So if you know somebody who lived through it, honor the day by asking them to share their experiences. In my recent blog post for Baltimore's Jmore Magazine (https://bit.ly/2GwR2Zm), I offer advice along with these 10 questions for framing the conversation. What are some other questions you think are important to ask? I'd love to know. Thanks to friend and mentor Mike O'Krent for helping with this list:
1) What was your family life like before the Holocaust?
2) How did life change when the N***s came to power (or invaded your country)?
3) Did your family try to emigrate in the 1930s? (If so, tell the story. If not, why?)
4) How did you cope emotionally with your day-to-day Holocaust experiences (in the ghetto, camp or other place you lived)?
5) How did the Holocaust influence your faith?
6) Did you encounter N***s, Germans or other people who tried to help you?
7) Were you with your family throughout the Holocaust or were you separated?
8) How did you start your life again after the Holocaust?
9) Did your Holocaust experience change your view of humanity? (If so, how? If not, why?)
10) Why is it important to record the stories and learn the lessons of the Holocaust?

This is the moment I was bitten by the interview bug. Something transformative happens when people get real on camera.
The moment life changed "Perfection may never be achieved, but its pursuit may result in greatness." The words of Joe Jones, a former addict & deadbeat dad, who reinvented himself as a father, husband, CEO, civic leader, & crusader for responsible fatherhood."
