Residents at The Outlook at Windhaven (OAW) gathered for a special screening of the 2022 documentary, Let Us Die, inspired by an astonishing true story uncovered by Forefront Living CEO, Tim Mallad. What began as a surprising discovery inside the hidden drawer of an antique desk revealed fragile and personal letters about survival and loss during World War II.
Following the film, Tim was joined by special guests Walter J. Levy, a 104-year-old Holocaust survivor, and WFAA Senior Reporter and film producer, Jason Whitely, for a Q&A discussion. Together, they shared how this extraordinary finding led to the creation of the documentary and reflected on the importance of preserving historical stories that might otherwise be lost.
Audience members listened intently as untold pieces of history came to life. Walter spoke candidly about the memories the film stirred up in him – some joyful and others painful. Through this journey, the three gentlemen reflected on meeting some wonderful people and the friendships that formed through researching and the making of this film, despite unimaginable circumstances.
