The Legacy Project
Holocaust education. Film production. Combating antisemitism.
History is not a passive record. It is a set of decisions made under impossible conditions by people who chose courage over survival. The Legacy Project exists to document those decisions, translate them into film and education, and equip every generation that follows to build something lasting on their foundation. Your support doesn’t just fund a project — it creates your legacy in the work.
What We Stand For
What We Do
We develop curriculum-aligned materials, institutional frameworks, and public programming that treat Holocaust history as an active obligation — not a fixed archive. Built for schools, museums, and community organizations ready to go beyond remembrance into action.
Educational materials · Institutional licensing · Public programming
Cinematic documentary production with global distribution in mind. Each project is developed from verified historical sources and built for broadcast, streaming, and educational licensing. Our films are designed to travel — and to last.
Broadcast · Streaming · Educational licensing
Antisemitism requires structured response — not only moral condemnation, but documented counter-narrative and community-level tools. We produce content specifically designed to equip institutions and individuals to recognize, name, and challenge it directly.
Counter-narrative · Community tools · Institutional resources
A new docu-series under the Legacy umbrella — in development. Women on the Frontline expands the scope of our storytelling to women whose courage shaped history in contexts beyond the Holocaust: conflict, leadership, and moral clarity in the face of impossible odds.
In development · 3-season series
Featured Project
Women Without Fear is a book and cinematic documentary series documenting thirty-six Jewish women who actively resisted the Nazi regime between 1933 and 1945. Each subject is drawn from the verified historical record — no composites, no invention. These are real people who made real decisions under conditions designed to eliminate them, and whose strategies, networks, and courage have been systematically underrepresented in mainstream historical accounts.
The book presents thirty-six thoroughly researched biographies, each grounded in archival evidence, survivor testimonies, and published scholarship. The documentary series adapts each life into a self-contained cinematic episode, designed for broadcast, streaming, and educational licensing globally. The series is produced to the standard of institutional documentary — rigorous sourcing, precise reconstruction, dignity as a non-negotiable.
This work matters now because antisemitism is accelerating, the last generation of direct witnesses is passing, and the documented record of Jewish women’s resistance is still incompletely known. Women Without Fear closes that gap — for educators, for cultural institutions, for donors who want their support to do something durable.

Why It Works
Every subject is documented. Every claim is sourced. We do not produce impressionistic history — we produce verified narrative, built to withstand scholarly scrutiny and serve institutional audiences.
Our education work is not retrospective. It translates historical record into current obligation — producing materials designed for active use in classrooms, organizations, and community settings, not passive display.
The Legacy Project operates with lean, distributed infrastructure. Donations go directly into content production, distribution, and education — not overhead. Operations are transparent by design.
The Legacy Project operates under fiscal sponsorship. Donations are tax-deductible and processed securely through our fiscal sponsor.
The Founder
Grant de Graf is a writer and filmmaker who has devoted much of his work to Holocaust remembrance and the fight against antisemitism. Blending historical accuracy with cinematic storytelling, he seeks to preserve the moral legacy of those who stood for truth, faith, and freedom when the world seemed lost.
He is the author of Women Without Fear, which brings to light the stories of thirty-six Jewish women who stood against the Nazi regime — resistance fighters, rescuers, and activists who found the strength to resist when survival alone might have been easier. Among them: Roza Robota, who smuggled gunpowder into Auschwitz; Gisi Fleischmann, who negotiated for Jewish lives; Rachel Auerbach, who kept testimony alive from inside the Warsaw Ghetto; and Faye Schulman, who photographed the partisan war from within it. The book is currently under consideration for adaptation as a television series.
The Legacy Project grew out of that work. Thirty-six stories filled a book; thousands more remain — documented, verifiable, and largely untold. As founder and director, Grant brings a filmmaker’s discipline to everything the organization undertakes: rigorous sourcing, cinematic craft, and the conviction that honoring courage means telling these stories with the same precision the people in them brought to their own lives.
