Seven decades after World War II, award-winning filmmaker Yoav Potash uncovers the hidden Jewish history of Gniewoszów, a small Polish town where Poles and Jews lived side by side for centuries. Today, the town has no Jewish residents, and even its tombstones have vanished—stolen over time to serve as grindstones and building materials.

When descendants of Gniewoszów’s Jewish community journey from San Francisco to reclaim and honor their heritage, they uncover both harrowing and inspiring stories. The town’s oldest residents, now in the twilight of their lives, reveal lifelong secrets, recalling how ordinary townsfolk made life-and-death decisions that reflect both the very best—and the very worst—of human nature.  Contains Holocaust material.
