3,000 Jews lived in the small Polish town of Nasielsk before the war; fewer than 100 survived it.
Drawing from a three-minute excerpt of a 1938 home movie capturing the curious and animated faces of men, women and children outside the synagogue, this poignant film-essay offers a rare glimpse into a vanished world. Co-produced by British filmmaker Steve McQueen and narrated by actor Helena Bonham Carter, “this rousing documentary about a Jewish town in Poland is a haunting meditation on the memory of the Holocaust” – The New York Times.
