USC Shoah Foundation's latest project takes our production teams across Europe, as they record the testimonies of the last living survivors of the Holocaust, using cutting edge, 360-degree filming techniques.

Aron Bell (born Aron Bielski) was the youngest of the four Bielski brothers who famously started a movement to rescue Jews from extermination through a community of partisans, which found refuge in the woods of what was German-occupied Western Belorussia (now Belarus).

The partisans smuggled Jews out of neighboring ghettos before mass executions and deportations could claim their lives. Through the rescuers’ actions – which have been chronicled in numerous books and films -- the community of fugitives grew to over 1,200 - the majority of them women and children.

As the last living Bielski brother, Aron Bell has a unique story that is being told as never before. As part of USC Shoah Foundation’s 360-degree Testimony On Location project, viewers will be able to use Virtual Reality to see and hear Aron speak about his firsthand accounts of the actions of the Bielski Partisans in the locations where those memories occurred.
