Details:

The documentary is a portrait of the modern Warsaw Jewish Community in Poland. After many years some people came back home and discovered their Jewish identity. They find out in the fourth generation about their Jewish ancestors. The people uncover their Jewish identity and roots through religion as well as cultural means. The premiere took place in December 2000 at the General Consulate of Republic of Poland in New York City. The Minister of Polish Foreign Affairs of Poland, Prof. Wladyslaw Bartoszewski was willing to give his name as honorary sponsor for the event. The film also documents the first postwar circumcision ceremony in Poland, held at the Nozyk Synagogue in Warsaw during Hanukkah. Interviews with members of Warsaw’s Jewish community show varying understandings and interpretations of being Jewish in Poland today. This documentary asks provocative questions: Who is a Jew in today’s Poland? What does it mean to be a Jew in Poland today? What is the extent of assimilation in a primarily Catholic country?
