Documentary
 

Mr. Schonker is an absorbing tour guide to his own life.” – The New York Times 

A lyrical and emotionally powerful documentary that brings to life the testimony and reminiscence of Henryk Schonker—a Jew from the town of Oswiecim, later renamed Auschwitz. In 1939, his father was the chairman of the Jewish community, whose task was to organize the Bureau of Emigration of Jews to Palestine, at the behest of the German military authorities.

This opportunity for legal immigration, set to save thousands, has been completely unknown to the world at large and poses a crucial but most difficult question: had Western countries been willing to accept Jewish refugees, how many could have been saved?

Tickets avalible online or at the theatre box office.
