In 1953, Hanna Bloch Kohner became the first Holocaust survivor to share her story with a national television audience on This Is Your Life—bringing the realities of the Holocaust into American homes at a time when survivor voices were rarely heard.

Today, her daughter, Julie Kohner, carries that legacy forward. Through personal stories, rare artifacts, and the historic broadcast that brought her mother’s survival into the national spotlight, Julie captivates audiences while ensuring this vital story of resilience and remembrance endures.
