Help fund this project.

Chimney Rock Media is currently seeking funding via donations through the Hall County Historical Society (HCHS) and the Institute for Holocaust Education (IHE) to produce “A Life Well Lived-on Account of David Kaufmann.” This broadcast-length documentary film will examine the selfless deeds performed by David Kaufmann in both Pre and Post World War II.

Through this program, viewers will come to a new revelation of homegrown heroes here in Nebraska and how one person’s close family ties impacted generations by caring enough to intervene and provide a means of rescue and a new life.

The monies will be used in preparing and finishing the project for production. It will enable the production team to expand its preliminary research which has already begun, by allowing the team to identify, collect and clear visual and archival materials; contact and secure participation of survivors and family members, as well as engage scholars, experts, make site visits, and perform the essential production work for the completed documentary.
