But I Saw It All Anyway

I tak wszystko widzialam...

Directing: Michal Tkaczynski

Synopsis

A documentary directed by Michał Tkaczyński on the lives of three Polish women of Jewish origin who survived the horrors of World War II and the Holocaust brought about by the German Nazis. Already in childhood each of the characters had to ask herself about the meaning of life, the role of God in it and verify her own identity. At some point the girls’ fate was changed by Poles who, risking their own lives, saved them from the threatening doom.
The film also looks at the role of priests and the Catholic Church in saving Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto and at spiritual and custom-related dilemmas among those members of the Jewish community who decided to change their religion and become baptised during the war.
