As a filmmaker, his film One Survivor Remembers about the Holocaust survivor Gerda Weissmann Klein won the Oscar for best documentary short film in 1996 and the Emmy for Outstanding Informational Special in 1995 . Getting to know Gerda's résumé enabled him to establish an extraordinarily lively connection with his own mother's experiences during the war. Antholis' mother Evanthia grew up in Nazi-occupied Greece during World War II . Weissmann's story helped Antholis understand what his mother went through when her father Vassilios was killed by Nazi collaborators. In 2005 the film was offered by the Southern Poverty Law Center as part of the Teaching Tolerance curriculum for high school teachers to educate their students about the Holocaust.
