Told through the eyes of Evelyn Markus, who fled the Netherlands in 2006 for the United States, this documentary investigates the troubling rise of anti-Semitism in Europe. Markus was raised in Amsterdam by parents who witnessed the growing anti-Jewish violence in the 1940s. Her parents survived the Holocaust when Allied soldiers liberated them in 1945. When Markus saw signs of the same disturbing trends returning to the Netherlands, she and her partner, Rosa Zeegers, left the land her family called home for centuries. Today she confronts the hatred that drove her out and embraces her life’s mission – to prevent one of history’s darkest chapters from repeating. Never Again Is Now is Evelyn’s story, her warning to the world: back in 1940, we could have stopped the evil threat but didn’t.

An old Jewish woman, on her 80th birthday, decides to prepare her last will and testament. She goes to the rabbi to show it to him and to ask him for advice on a few points, chief amongst them is her request that she not be buried in a Jewish cemetery. "But why Mrs. Epstein?" the rabbi asks. "You don't want to be buried with the rest of our people?" "No," Mrs. Epstein said resolutely. "I want to be buried at Bloomingdales." "Bloomingdales?!" the rabbi said in disbelief. "Yes. Then I'll be sure that my daughters will visit me at least twice a week!"
