Marlee Matlin to Develop ‘Signs of Survival: A Memoir of the Holocaust’ Series With Amblin Television, Scholastic
BreAnna Bell Amblin Television has partnered up with Scholastic Entertainment’s media division and Marlee Matlin’s Solo One Productions to co-develop and co-produce a live-action limited series based on the memoir, “Signs of Survival: A Memoir of the Holocaust.” Written by Joshua M. Greene, the story follows the lives of Renee Hartman and her sister Herta as they stood together and watched the events of the Holocaust unfold. As Jews living in 1940s Czechoslovakia, Renee, Herta and their parents were in immediate danger when the Holocaust came to their door. As the only hearing person in her family, Renee had to alert her parents and sister whenever the sound of Nazi boots approached their home so they could hide. But soon their parents were tragically taken away, and the two sisters went on the run, desperate to find a safe place to hide. Communicating in sign language and relying on each other for strength, Renee and Herta would have to fight to survive the darkest of times.
