"Perth-born writer-director Aron Attiwell, 22, has taken on the formidable task of educating young Australians about the Holocaust through his film Fading Numbers. As the number of Holocaust survivors is diminishing, Attiwell understands the importance of younger generations’ hearing firsthand from those who experienced the horrors of genocide about both the experience itself and the lessons that can be learned from it."
