Elizabeth Smart has made television history by bringing together six fellow survivors of America's most famous abductions.

Smart, who was held captive for nine months when she was 14 years old, wanted to unite the women so they could together help Jayme Closs.

Jayme, 13, made national headlines in October after her parents were murdered in the middle of the night and she was kidnapped from their Wisconsin home.

She managed to escape from her abductor Jake Patterson, 21, who held her in a secluded cabin for 88 days, in January.

As a fellow survivor, Smart knew exactly what Jayme was going through and wanted to help her 'move forward'.

Smart, who was held captive for nine months when she was 14 years old before she was rescued, was inspired to unite the women and help Jayme Closs

'I remember hearing the news and thinking "She did it! Another one of us got away,"' Smart says in the trailer of her new Lifetime show Smart Justice: The Jayme Closs Case.

'When I came home, my parents were waiting for me. But that didn't happen for Jayme,' she continued. 'Nothing prepares you for being kidnapped, and nothing prepares you for life after.'

'Only a few of us know what it's like, and we need to stick together to help Jayme. We want to help her move forward.'

The women Smart brought together all know what it's like to watch the most painful experience of their lives become national news.

Gina DeJesus was 14 when she was kidnapped by Ariel Castro and held captive in his Cleveland home for nine years alongside Amanda Berry and Michelle Knight. She was rescued in 2013 after Berry managed to escape and contact police.

Katie Beers was just 10 years old when she was abducted by a family friend in 1992 and held in a coffin-sized underground bunker for 17 days.

Alicia Kozakiewicz was kidnapped by a 38-year-old online predator when she was 13. He raped and tortured her for four days in a basement dungeon, livestreaming the abuse online.

Smart and her fellow survivors became emotional as they discussed both Jayme's case and their own

Sarah Maynard was just 13 years old when she was kidnapped and held for four days, bound and assaulted in a basement dungeon after her mother and brother were murdered. Their bodies were found stuffed in a tree.

Kara Robinson was 15 when she was abducted by a serial killer, who bound her to his bed and raped her. She was able to escape in the middle of the night while he slept.

Denise Huskins, the most recent survivor, was kidnapped, sexually assaulted, and held for ransom for two days. Police initially called her case a hoax.

'You've heard the news reports about Jayme, but you're going to hear it as you've never heard before. Through our eyes,' Smart said.

'For the first time ever, these amazing survivors are coming together. We want Jayme to know she is one of us.'

During the emotional roundtable, Smart asks her fellow survivors if any of them have forgiven their captors.

ELIZABETH SMART'S SIX FELLOW SURVIVORS Smart brought together six fellow survivors who know exactly what it's like to watch the most painful experience of their life become national news. Some were held for years, others for hours. Many were raped and sexually assaulted. A number were held captive in basement dungeons. Here are their incredible stories of survival. Gina DeJesus Gina DeJesus was just 14 years old when she was kidnapped by Ariel Castro in 2004 and held captive in his Cleveland, Ohio home for nine years Gina DeJesus was just 14 years old when she was kidnapped by Ariel Castro in 2004 and held captive in his Cleveland, Ohio home for nine years. She was held alongside Amanda Berry and Michelle Knight, who had also been abducted between 2002 and 2004. All three women were routinely abused by Castro, who chained them to a wall and held them like prisoners of war. He often threatened to kill them and kept them locked in an upstairs bedroom, giving them just one meal a day and forcing them to use plastic toilets. Castro impregnated Knight at last five teams and induced the miscarriages by beating her, including with dumbbells. The women were rescued after Berry escaped and contacted police. Castro was sentenced to life in prison. He committed suicide in 2013. Katie Beers Katie Beers was kidnapped in New York when she was just 10 years old by family friend John Esposito in 1992 Katie Beers was kidnapped in New York when she was just 10 years old by family friend John Esposito in 1992. Esposito held Beers in a coffin-sized underground bunker under his garage in Bay Shore for 17 days. The bunker, which measured 6ft by 7ft, was concealed by a 200lb concrete trap door. Esposito told police he built the bunker for Beers. Esposito (pictured in 1993) held Beers in a coffin-sized underground bunker under his garage in Bay Shore for 17 days 'My captor had intentions of keeping me indefinitely,' Beers says in Smart's show. 'In this coffin-sized box there was a chain where my head would be, there were actually handcuffs on either side of this bed.' 'He actually chained me to the wall so I wasn't able to move.' Esposito led police to the bunker and Beers was freed in January 1993. He was sentenced 15 years to life. He died of natural causes in 2013. Alicia Kozakiewicz Alicia Kozakiewicz was kidnapped by Scott Tyree, a 38-year-old online predator when she was 13. Kozakiewicz thought Tyree was a boy her own age when he began contacting her in a Yahoo chat room. Tyree groomed Kozakiewicz for nearly a year and then lured her into meeting him in Pittsburgh, where he coerced her into his car and drove her back to his home in Virginia. Alicia Kozakiewicz was kidnapped by Scott Tyree, a 38-year-old online predator when she was 13 He then raped and tortured her for four days in a basement dungeon, livestreaming the abuse online. A viewer recognized Kozakiewicz from a missing persons flier and reported the stream to the FBI, fearing he could be charged in the crime. Kozakiewicz was rescued on January 4, 2002. She suffered from PTSD and remembers little of her life before the kidnapping. Kozakiewicz has since become a prominent internet safety and missing persons advocate. Tyree (pictured in 2002) raped and tortured her for four days in a basement dungeon, livestreaming the abuse online Tyree served 17 years in prison and was released in February. He was transferred to a halfway house in Pittsburgh, where Kozakiewicz's family still lives. 'I'm scared to return home, my home has been hijacked, I'm in fear for my family and for everybody I know, and frankly, for Pittsburgh, a place that I love and adore,' she said at the time. SARAH MAYNARD Sarah Maynard was just 13 years old when she was kidnapped and held captive for four days by Matthew Hoffman Sarah Maynard was just 13 years old when she was kidnapped and held captive for four days by Matthew Hoffman. Hoffman kidnapped Maynard after killing her mother Tina Herrmann, her brother Kody, and her neighbor Stephanie Sprang. Their bodies were found stuffed inside a tree. He then abducted Maynard, holding her hostage in his basement. She was bound and confined to a makeshift bed of leaves. Hoffman later admitted to police that he had raped Maynard, who was found wearing a white plastic bag that had holes cut out for her legs - like a diaper. He was sentenced to life in prison. Three years later, Maynard's father and stepmother were accused of punching her and kicking her down a set of stairs. KARA ROBINSON Kara Robinson was 15 when she was abducted by serial killer Richard Evonitz in Columbia, South Carolina in 2002 Kara Robinson was 15 when she was abducted by serial killer Richard Evonitz in Columbia, South Carolina in 2002. Robinson had been in a friend's yard when Evonitz kidnapped her, taking her to his apartment. He tied her to his bed and raped the teen, who escaped after he fell asleep. Robinson was able to identify Evonitz to police. He fled to Sarasota, Florida and killed himself as he was confronted by officers. Evonitz killed 16-year-old Sofia Silva, as well as Kristin Lisk, 15, and her 12-year-old sister Kati. All three were also abducted from their front yards. He remains the suspect for a 1994 abduction and rape and a 1995 rape. DENISE HUSKINS Denise Huskins, the most recent survivor, was kidnapped from her home in Vallejo, California by Matthew Muller in March 2015 Denise Huskins, the most recent survivor, was kidnapped from her home in Vallejo, California in March 2015. Huskins was sleeping alongside her husband Aaron Quinn when they were awakened in the middle of the night. She was abducted and sexually assaulted for two days while being held for ransom and was later released near her father's home. Vallejo police initially believed that the couple's story was a hoax until Matthew Muller, a Harvard-educated attorney, was arrested. Muller pleaded guilty and is now serving a 40-year sentence. Huskins and Quinn later won a $2.5million settlement from the city. Advertisement

'It doesn't make a difference in my healing and how I move forward,' Huskins replies. Her abductor, Matthew Muller, is now serving a 40-year prison sentence.

'I really don't wish any ill will, with him in jail he deserves to be behind bars,' she continues. 'Because he can, and will, hurt people again.'

'I used to hate him,' DeJesus says of her captor. 'It took so much energy out of me, so I'm not wasting energy on somebody that isn't worth it.'

Smart then opens up about her own feelings toward her captors Brian David Mitchell and his wife Wanda Barzee. Mitchell was sentenced to life in prison, Barzee was released in September.

'I never ever want to see either of my captors again, I never want them to come anywhere near my family, I never want them to go near any children,' Smart tells the roundtable.

'Because I will never forgive the acts of rape, I will never forgive the acts of kidnapping. But I don't have room in my life to stay angry at them.'

'None of us would be sitting here is this hadn't happened to us,' adds Robinson, whose abductor committed suicide after police tracked him down.

Smart asked the survivors if they had forgiven their captors. Huskins became emotional as Maynard opened up about her mother's murder during her kidnapping

'My family was huge for me, so I just can't comprehend what you had to go through,' a tearful Huskins tells her. 'You're amazing and strong and I just want you to know that'

'This is something that, yes, it's going to make you who you are,' she continues. 'But it doesn't define who you are, it shapes you.'

Smart then asks Maynard, whose mother was killed during her own kidnapping, what advice she would give to Jayme.

'Of course we feel days where we feel hopeless and want to give up,' she replies. 'I'm sure all of us feel that way - but we can't. Losing my mother is one of the hardest things in life.'

'My family was huge for me, so I just can't comprehend what you had to go through,' a tearful Huskins tells her. 'You're amazing and strong and I just want you to know that.'

'Knowing that you can never say mom again, it's the worst thing in the world,' Maynard continues, breaking down in tears.

'They didn't just die, their lives were brutally taken. It made me become a really strong woman, it made me become a really strong mother.'

Maynard then turns her advice to Jayme, saying she has to be the 'one willing not to give up'.

Smart gave Maynard a hug after she opened up about how losing her mother forced her to become a 'really strong woman'

Smart brought out some of the survivors' missing posters, including her own, during her powerful and emotional roundtable

'I think that's so important for Jayme to know, for her to hear,' Smart replies. 'This is a sisterhood that's unlike any other. Let's take some time and talk about helping her move forward.'

'I feel that when we're rescued, that "Yay, happy ending, it's all over", literally the newspapers said that - "happy ending,"' recalls Kozakiewicz. 'It's not an ending,' she continues. 'This book doesn't close and I just vanish.'

Huskins then reveals she found it hard not to blame herself and wonder what she could have done differently.

'A lot of people have asked me, "Why didn't you do this?"' adds DeJesus.

'I was physically chained up, but I was also manipulated and told if I ran he'd kill me, he'd kill my family,' Smart tells the group. 'Those manipulations were much stronger bonds then the actual chains I was held with.'

Smart also brings out some of the survivors' missing posters, including her own.

'This poster just reminds me that this girl, she doesn't exist anymore actually,' Smart says, looking at a picture of her 14-year-old self.

Beers tells the group that she sees a 'traumatized little girl', before adding: 'I'm not that same child, I'm stronger.'

Smart said she was inspired to create Smart Justice as a way to help Jayme heal following her horrific kidnapping ordeal

'That man killed that little girl, he didn't kill me,' adds Kozakiewicz while looking at her own poster.

Smart also traveled to Wisconsin to see the secluded cabin where Patterson held Jayme captive for nearly three months.

'Jayme was here, isolated in the basement of her 21-year-old captor's family cabin, trapped in the homemade dungeon he'd prepared specifically for her,' Smart says as she gazes on the home.

'He even threw party here for his family at Christmastime, he would often do this if people stopped by the home,' adds journalist Beth McDonough, who accompanied Smart on the visit.

'He would take her downstairs, lock her up, turn up the radio, so the people who were at his home also couldn't hear her if she tried to make some sort of a sound.'

It was a strategy DeJesus knew all too well from her many years spent being locked in Castro's home.

Smart also traveled to Wisconsin to see the secluded cabin where Patterson held Jayme captive for nearly three months (pictured)

'His band would come over and practice, and if it wasn't his band then it was his family who came over sometimes,' DeJesus recalled.

'He would come upstairs and tell us to be quiet, don't move, and he would turn up the radio so that the other visitors wouldn't hear us.'

And Patterson's homemade dungeon was similar to the underground bunker where Beers was held by her abductor.

'My captor had intentions of keeping me indefinitely,' said Beers, who was just 10 years old at the time of her abduction.

'In this coffin-sized box, there was a chain where my head would be. There were actually handcuffs on either side of the bed. He actually chained me to the wall so I wasn't able to move.'

As she looked upon Patterson's house, Smart couldn't help but recall memories from her own horrific abduction.

'People came in and out of the house and never knew she was here, its terrifying,' Smart said as she gazed upon the secluded cabin.

'It makes me think of the times I was brought out in public. But because I was veiled and covered nobody knew anything, nobody said anything.'

'It was a real act of courage to escape from this house.'

Smart Justice: The Jayme Closs Case premieres Saturday, April 27, at 8pm on Lifetime.
