Story

We hear the story of Jozio from Walbrzych. But he hasn’t been to the city since the 1950s, when he emigrated to Israel with his parents. He’s dreamt of visiting his childhood home for over 50 years. When he came to visit Berlin, we took him home. On the way to Walbrzych we listened to the stories he harbored in his soul: the story of a child of Holocaust survivors, many times rejected by others for incomprehensible reasons. The story of how society can punish “otherness.”
