Scope and Content
Consists of one DVD, entitled "We Are Here", written and produced by Harrison Heller. The documentary tells the story of Helen Bronstein and Harry Shabas, who participated in a Jewish partisan group from 1942-1945 and later married. Helen Bronstein, who is interviewed on the documentary along with her sister, Dorothy, was originally from Drohiczyn, Poland, and survived in various hiding places until joining the partisan group. Also interviewed is Boris Kotler, who, like Harry, was originally from Siemiatycze, Poland, and who recounts the story of the formation of the partisan group. Harry and Helen married in Italy in September 1945 and immigrated to the United States in 1949.
