Lubliners

Poland has always been a country of many cultures, and the life of the Jewish community for centuries has been inseparably linked with its history. And suddenly, the Jewish population ceased to exist. I ask myself, what can we do to fill this void? There is only one way. We must remember.
This documentary, which deals with first and second generation of Jews from Lublin, Poland, provides an opportunity to unveil the truth hidden in the deepest part of this history. The testimony of protagonists brings valid and yet universal message. In my documentary I present Shoah through the stories of my protagonists. Each of them is different, yet they are all equally complex and moving. My goal is to present not only the enormity of the suffering bounded to the Jewish fate, but also to emphasize the great will to survive, which transcends death.
