Film focuses on Holocaust survivor living in Minnesota

ST. CLOUD, Minn. (AP) A fundraising campaign has been launched to help pay for a film based on the experiences of a Holocaust survivor who now lives in Minnesota.

Production company Launch Flix is working with a synagogue in Phoenix on a campaign called "$6 million for 6 million." The campaign will raise money for a film based on the experiences of Holocaust survivor Henry Oertelt.

Oertelt lives in St. Paul and has spoken at St. Cloud State University and many other places about his experiences.

Launch Flix has bought the rights to his book, "An Unbroken Chain: My Journey Through the Nazi Holocaust." It describes Oertelt's experiences in surviving five concentration camps during the Holocaust.
