It was a shock to all who knew and loved him and now, nearly 25 years later, he's very much remembered and loved. We think of him every day, we remember his jokes, we remember his hopes. Sometimes it's hard to cope with him not being there. We imagine him seeing all the things we've been doing. This is a film by one of us: Eddie's dad, Michael.

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened.
