Based on True Stories / Events

A documentary film about the legacy of the Holocaust in the Balkans, as seen through the eyes -and conflicting memories- of three Bulgarian Jewish survivors in New York. Chaim Zemach, a cellist; Robert Bakish, an engineer; and Misha Avramoff, a social worker struggle to place their unusual experiences during World War II in Bulgaria into the more common narrative of the Shoah. They question the value of their stories and debate whether they are true Holocaust “survivors.”
