Interviewed by Steven Spielberg’s USC Shoah Foundation, she is the former curator of El Paso Holocaust Museum and currently resides in New York City. Told from the eyes of Lucie as a child, Unconquered traces her three-year journey from when Nazis took over her home in Vienna to her arrival at Ellis Island and assimilation in New York. Tested again and again, Lucie watched as her grandfather died after being brutally beaten and saw her cousins get shot before her very eyes. But, it was a traumatic incident with two Nazi soldiers that has left the deepest scar. More than a “Holocaust story,” Unconquered demonstrates the resiliency of the human spirit and the ﬁre of a girl who refuses to let anyone crush her soul. “To capture a written history such as this takes incredible resilience, and courage. Lucie is a woman of strength. Reaching deep and holding on to her indomitable spirit, Lucie faces down her worst memories, and ﬁnds within her heart the capacity to love and nurture again. ‘Unconquered’ is more than a tale, it’s a life story, and in its telling offers hope and peace for generations to come...” 5-1020
