This documentary follows a Holocaust and Lodz Ghetto survivor as he returns to Poland. Until now, Natan Grossmann had repressed his desire to learn about the fate of his brother he lost contact with in 1942. 70 years later, Grossmann starts a search for his missing brother. His search crosses paths with Jens-Jurgen Ventzki, son of the former Nazi Head Mayor of Lodz. Ventzki is pursuing his family's dark secret. In tracing their family histories, they inevitably confront each other in this powerful documentary. *Cummings renounces large accusations, gives only the essentials of factual information and relies largely on the emotional power of her images. Cameramann Marek Iwicki follows the events flexibly and with a watchful eye and creates with wisely composed settings a mood between amazement and thoughtfulness. " - Hans-Peter Dicks, **CineArte***
