Synopsis
“Stand up straight, smile at people and show them we’re still alive.”
Fourteen women between the age of 75 and 95 walk a runway and tell their life stories to their audience in Haifa, Israel. They’re wearing their nicest clothes; jewellery and make-up grace their aged faces and fragile bodies. This is the most unique beauty pageant in the world, because these women all have one thing in common: they represent the last generation of Holocaust survivors.
The creative documentary MISS HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR brings the lives of Rita and Tova to the silver screen, telling stories of unique women who survived the Holocaust, and of the beauty and strength radiating within them.
