"As Seen Through These Eyes" is the powerful story of a brave group of Holocaust survivors who fought tyranny with the only weapons they had: charcoal, pencil stubs and shreds of paper. These artists, including renowned Nazi hunter, Simon Wiesenthal and Gypsy artist, Karl Stojka, took fate into their own hands to make a compelling statement about the human spirit, enduring against unimaginable odds.
