The film begins by telling the story of newlyweds, Rosalee and Abraham Glass, as they set up their new home in the Jewish section of Warsaw, Poland. After exploring their neighborhood one day, six Nazi soldiers stopped them, one of which slapped Rosalee across the face. This begins her journey living through the world's biggest nightmare - the Holocaust. The film follows the trials she faced while living during the Holocaust, the children she lost, the pain she experienced, and her eventual placement in a DP camp. After many better, but still challenging and painful years in the DP camp of Feldafing, the Glass family finally finds their way to the US. The film then follows Rosalee's journey as she sets up a new life in America, and realizes a General she saw in Feldafing has become the American President, Dwight D. Eisenhower. After many ups and downs, and life-changing moments in America, Rosalee finds herself in her senior years living life to its fullest with her daughter. Nearing the end of her life, Rosalee Glass finds herself being honored with an invitation to the White House, where the President signs an Executive Order, to help prevent Anti-Semitism in universities, in her name. Congress then honored Rosalee by flying a flag in her name as one of the oldest Holocaust survivors. Rosalee becomes both overjoyed and moved to the core. Here she was, a Holocaust survivor, who personally experienced the most evil atrocities of our history, encountered a future president of the United States, and now some 80 years later at the White House where she is being honored by the President with an order against Anti-Semitism- the same Anti-Semitism that killed her beloved father, mother, aunt, and sisters. This film is a story of hope, inspiration, and shows that miracles can happen. See less
