DALLAS -- Eva Schloss is no stranger to Dallas. As a Holocaust survivor willing to share her harrowing life story, she appeared in Richardson as recently as three years ago. In 2002, she flew in from London to see a play about her life, "And Then They Came for Me," which was showcased at Dallas Childrens Theater.

In 2015, officials of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum approached filmmaker Sarah Botstein and her colleagues, Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, letting them know that they were working on an exhibition about Americans and the Holocaust. They told the filmmakers that they thought the exhibit theme might be an interesting idea for a film.

“I’ve said often that I won’t work on a more important project. I hope to work on other important films, but I will not work on a more important film than this one,” he affirms after making “The U.S. and the Holocaust.”

Born in Vienna in 1929 as Eva Geiringer (the name used in the series) Schloss suffered the loss of her brother and father, both of whom were killed at Auschwitz. In 1953, Schloss mother married Otto Frank, Anne Franks father, making Eva the late Annes stepsister.

In his latest docuseries, Ken Burns and his colleagues examine what the United States did — and didn't do — during the Holocaust. "I'll never work on a more important film," says the documentarian.
