Description


"The Unrelenting Journey of a Holocaust Survivor" is the true story about a young German-born Jewish artist by the name of Horst Rosenberg. Horst lived through the worst moments of his life as a young adult. While pursuing his dream of becoming an artist, he was faced with the evil that imprisoned him and his family, where he faced the senseless murder of his family at the hands of the Nazis and the Japanese. As a Holocaust survivor, he lived through and survived two different internment camps on two separate continents. While the Nazis took the lives of his parents, sister, niece, and nephews, Horst faced yet another imprisonment under the Japanese while living in China after leaving Germany in an attempt to escape the Nazis. Tragically, the Japanese stole the life of his firstborn and left a helpless child to die while she was undergoing medical care. As Horst endured one painful event after another, art became his therapy. It was a lifesaving talent that gave him the strength and determination to live life to the fullest and inspired him to pursue a successful art business. He began his business in Shanghai, China, and continued to live that dream when he moved to Dallas, Texas, after he was liberated from the Japanese. Despite a free and successful life that he had accomplished for himself and his family after moving to the United States, Horst still couldn't escape the tribulations and was bound by the nightmares that plagued him and his family.
