"A Promise To Our Fathers fulfills a promise two young sons made to their fathers, one a Holocaust survivor and the other, a liberator of what each endured and witnessed. Yet for me, it’s goes far deeper than that. This film fulfills a promise to every person who lays in an unmarked grave, every person who was denied the right to see old age, every person who never got to become a parent because it says, “We will never forget you. Your life mattered.” I urge you to watch A Promise to Our Fathers for every person who perished in the Holocaust and for every person who fought for our freedom, as a way to honor their memory and preserve their legacy."

"A Promise To Our Fathers is very direct, honest, poignant, timely, necessary and very special because of who tells the story and how and where the story is being told. It also underscores the importance of telling the story of the Holocaust to different audiences in unique places by authentic people - as long as they are with us."

"Produced by Vegas media veteran Gene Greenberg, A Promise to Our Fathers tells the story of Greenberg’s parents, Holocaust survivors who emigrated from Poland to the United States, as well as the father of Greenberg’s childhood friend Larry Pollard, a World War II veteran who’s involved in education about the Holocaust. It’s a slickly produced tribute to both men’s families, with affecting firsthand accounts of how wartime experiences shaped Greenberg’s and Pollard’s parents, and in turn shaped the two men themselves."
