The film follows Mr. Lebenstein on his emotional journey to liberate the part of his mind, body and soul that the Russian forces could not set free. Speaking throughout the United States and Germany, Lebenstein continues to dedicate his life to teaching the dangers of intolerance. From the heart-wrenching images of Nazi brutality in Haltern am See to the thought-provoking scenes of German children, Kristallnacht & Beyond proves to be a film worthy of enlightening generations to come.
