Lev Pevzner discusses his participation in the 1943 Battle of the Dnieper when he, a Jewish soldier, served in the Soviet armed forces. As the Red Army approached the Dnieper, the Germans used the river to slow down the Soviets’ advance. Pevzner reflects on his involvement in the military offensive including assembling rafts to transfer supplies and personnel across the river. As a result of the battle, the Red Army liberated the eastern bank of the Dnieper, and subsequently, the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv.

Pinchas Gutter sits in a red chair surrounded by bright green fabric under the glare of several thousand LED lights, 53 cameras capturing his every move. This is the world's first ever full-life history captured in true 3-D. As I interview him, I perch on a stool 8 feet away at 90 degrees to Pinchas. We can see each other through a mirror angled at 45 degrees. I have 400 questions in front of me as we settle in for five days of intensive interview. This is not the fireside chat in the comfort of the interviewee's home.
