Sometimes I am asked, “Well, another documentary about the Holocaust?” Spontaneously the image of Europe and the USA come to my mind. A number of leaders win the elections with far-right politics that targets directly on human rights and democratic values. What is worse, is that these politics enchant a large part of societies; exactly what happened with Hitler and Mussolini. I, therefore, conclude that much more needs to be said about Auschwitz as a constant reminder to societies of what the ending of far-right ideology is.
Another question I asked is how different this documentary will be from the already existing ones. My goal, and that of Renée Revah’s, is not to show archival footage and repeat what we have by this time seen in previous documentaries and films. The narrative of this documentary is the personal story of Grandfather Mr. Revah and Renée ancestors. A human dot in the long history of the Holocaust at Auschwitz and Birkenau with the 1,600,000 dead.
