- Summary
- A cinematic journey about buried family secrets, the Holocaust (from a third generation perspective) and how it is never too late to reclaim your heritage. Siblings Michla and Feiv'ke Schwarz survived the Holocaust but never reunited after the war. Michla moved to the soon-to-be-founded Jewish state in the Middle East and started a family there. Her brother returned to East Germany and married a German women. The Israeli and German sides of the family lived unaware of each other for half a century until Yeal Reuveny probed exactly what happened to the family in 1945.
