Ivor Perl was 12 years old when Auschwitz was liberated, 80 years ago this week. Ivor and his brother, Alec, survived. Ivor's parents and seven siblings did not. The lessons of the Holocaust remain painfully relevant today, as murderous dehumanisation, the distortion of truth, and the widespread appeasement of tyrants are still not relics of the past. In Ivor’s own words, “It was a day like this when we first came (to Auschwitz). A warm, sunny day, blue sky with cotton wool clouds. Birds were singing and butterflies were fluttering between the lines. The Holocaust did not happen in dark corners hidden away. The Holocaust happened in broad daylight, in plain sight – with the world watching.”
Meeting Ivor and working on 'Survivor', an animated film about his experiences during the Holocaust, has been an incredible honour for us at SuperGrizzly. Collaborating with Director Zoom Rockman, Screenwriter Kate Lennard, Producer Sally Vaughan, and Co-Producer Rachel Mansson, 'Survivor' represents our most significant contribution to a single film including pitch deck, title sequence, trailer, poster design and a behind-the-scenes short film, 'Creating Survivor'.
