Item description
A screenshot of a creative promotional for the movie "The Last Days" by James Mcall. Text on the promotional reads, “Academy Award Winner Best Documentary Feature” in yellow text highlighted in dark purple, “Steven Speilberg and The shoah foundation present” in black text, “The Last Days” in large white lettering with red undertones, and then “A film by James Mcall” in very small white lettering. The cover image shows a person sitting on very large steps that lead up to tall stone walls, where a couple of small buildings are partially hidden behind. The person has fair skin and their head is down, resting in the palms of their hands. There is a long white clothing garment in their lap. In the distance sunlight shines through a golden cloudy sky. At the bottom of the image is the phrase, “Everything you’re about to see is true“.

Strength Through Female War Survivors' Stories 4
Julie Marino
During the pandemic I was diagnosed with breast cancer. While undergoing treatment and dealing with sheltering in home, I turned to reading. I read books about WW II specifically females who survived the holocaust or were heroic spies in the war. Their stories inspired me and gave me strength. One of my favorite quotes is from a woman who lived during the holocaust "with perseverance, faith and hope, one can overcome almost anything."
