WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING


  • "Thank you for sharing Fred Mayer’s story.  I consider myself so honored to have interviewed him for the Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation (now the USC Shoah Foundation Institute). Fred has been credited, by Gen. Eisenhower, with shortening the war by 6 months.  Both my parents were Holocaust survivors and neither would have survived another 6 months so I know the debt I owe Fred.  How many families of WWII servicemen appreciate Fred’s service?  More than most other folks, I can truly appreciate how much time, effort and skill it took to get Fred to say that much!  He is a man of action, not words, and if he were a “Chatty Cathy” he would not have been a successful spy.  Congratulations on the film.  I hope it is a great success and many, many people see it.  I hope Fred gets the recognition he deserves for his contributions to the war effort."  - Esther Finder, Generations of the Shoah International (GSI)
