A Story of Love and Forgiveness

Although The Honey Girl documentary tells the story of Holocaust survivor Esther Basch, who spent three and a half months in Auschwitz, the film takes a unique approach: it strives to inspire people to hold a more open place in their hearts.

Esther’s is a story of forgiveness, love, and resilience and that’s what co-Executive Producers Laurie McCampbell and Rachel Basch Turet (Esther’s daughter) said they want the The Honey Girl to convey.

“Mom’s story,” Rachel said during a recent interview, “is how to live with the tools of love and forgiveness to embrace your life.”

Andrea and Esther

Esther, 94, was born in a small town in Czechoslovakia and spent months in Auschwitz as a teen and eventually emigrated to the U.S. as an adult. Andrea, 60, was born and raised in Germany before moving to the states in 1985.

The pair met while working on The Honey Girl documentary, which aims to share Esther’s inspiring message of using the tools of love and forgiveness to embrace life.

‘Live Life With Love’

Esther Basch has nothing tangible by which to remember her parents—no pictures, no keepsakes, no heirlooms. What she does have are the lessons they taught her: faith, forgiveness, and love … and she infuses her life with those every day, honoring her parents and spreading an invaluable message.

Esther, the only child of Rabbi Moises Roth and his wife Fanny Roth, had an idyllic childhood in Szollosh, a small town in what is now Ukraine (it was Hungarian when Esther’s mother was born there, Czechoslovakian when Esther was born, and Hungarian again when she was 9 or 10). She and her friends picked ripe berries, raced up hillsides, and climbed trees.

From Propagating Hate to Embracing Love

Andrea Ramey hears with ears that recognize the undertones of Neo-Nazism … because she’s been immersed in that culture.

A self-described “recovering Neo-Nazi,” Andrea said that today she feels such shame for what she did, and is now on a mission to spread a message of love and acceptance.

‘We Were So Grateful’

The war in Ukraine has been stirring up memories for Mai Nguyen.

The impending North Vietnamese military invasion of South Vietnam forced Mai’s family to flee to the United States in 1975 when Mai was six years old, and she’s never returned. Vietnam has been a socialist republic controlled by communists ever since.

But you won’t hear Mai lamenting her life’s path.
