Eva's Promise – Documentary Film
On a train to Auschwitz, Heinz Geiringer told his 15-year-old sister Eva that the paintings and poems he created in hiding from the Nazis were beneath the attic floorboards. Heinz made Eva promise if he should die in the camps, she would retrieve the artwork. Today, his story sits in the shadow of the better-known DIARY OF ANNE FRANK. After the war, Eva became the posthumous stepsister of Anne when her mother married Otto Frank. While the world knows Anne’s story, this film introduces Heinz, his artistry, and his sister’s efforts to find and share his remarkable legacy.
