Soldier of Peace (1989)
"Recently, visiting the extermination camp at Auschwitz, … I suddenly paid attention to [a] suitcase….The name was that of [Lotta’s] mother, Else Hitschmann, Prag II, Sokolska 36 – [her family’s] home address…. Now when I walk the fields of the camp and see the ashes coming out of the earth, another soul has a name."
The 1989 film documentary, Soldier of Peace (24 minutes), tells the story of Dr. Lotta Hitschmanova (1909-1990), who founded the Unitarian Service Committee of Canada (now USC Canada) – a Canadian charitable organization.
Written, directed, and produced by Peter Lockyer. Funded in part by USC Canada. Narrated by Peter Trueman.
