Directed an upcoming documentary

An upcoming documentary, Keepers of Memory: Stories of Hidden Children, directed by Production adjunct Gabor Kalman was highlighted in a recent Malibu Times article.  

A segment of the film, which interviews Jewish people who were hidden with non-Jewish families during the Holocaust, was shown at a Holocaust remembrance event, the story reported. 

“My film is not a typical Holocaust film,” said Kalman, 73, who was one of those children himself.  “It is more about memory and childhood trauma. The film tells incredibly varied stories about hidden children, from them growing up in non-Jewish families and not even knowing that they were Jewish until much later in their life, to little children having to be hid in a chest of drawers for so long it affected their ability to walk when they were able to come out. J ewish families were being torn apart during these times. Some were eventually reunited. Others were not. My film focuses on the memories and trauma associated with growing up like this.”
