Samuel Pisar, my first cousin, my mother's nephew, was a major influence on my life.
He was also Antony Blinken's stepfather. The Secretary of State has referred frequently to all that he owes to Sam, a Holocaust survivor, prominent international lawyer, and author (Of Blood and Hope)..
I had hoped to do a documentary tribute to my cousin, whose message of hope and reconciliation seems especially pressing today. While the project, unfortunately, had to be abandoned, I will be making available below:
1) a filmed interview I did with Samuel Pisar in 1981;
2) ten minutes from my abandoned work-in-progress documentary.
Passwords are currently needed to access these videos.
