Members of Victor Neuman’s family were in Warsaw when it was bombed by the Luftwaffe, in the Polish cavalry when Poland fought the invading German army, in Paris during the roundup of Jews for deportation, in the Warsaw Ghetto just before the uprising, in the Ukraine when Panzers crossed the Russian frontier, in the Ural mountains when the German army surrendered at Stalingrad and even in Auschwitz at the time of its liberation.

In 2013, the Vancouver Jewish Folk Choir performed an abridged version of "The Family Naiman" , which, via songs, narration and photos, tells the true story of a remarkable Jewish family and their journey to survival during World War II. That performance was heralded as one of the best concerts ever performed by the choir. This time, the choir will be performing the entire piece, with previously cut narrations and songs restored.
