  Wow, what an incredible and deeply personal documentary. I feel so lucky to have clicked on it. Honestly one of the best documentaries I’ve seen in a long time.

  My father was a teenager in the Holocaust, a survivor of Sobibor. Until the age of 90 he traveled all over the world to tell people of his experiences so that the world would not forget.

  I am a Pole and the first thing that struck me was how enormously Poland has changed since 1996. As a teenager, I was as fascinated by the world of our fellow Jews as Zbyszek. To this day, I visit Jewish cemeteries and places where they lived. I am aware that among my countrymen there were not only great people who risked their lives saving Jews, but also mean people, criminals. I would like to prove to all Jews in the world that among Poles today there are people who sincerely identify with these heroes who save human life, regardless of religion, skin color and sexual orientation. I am very happy to see the revival of Jewish culture in Poland. Great museums are created showing the life of Jews in Warsaw, Czestochów, etc. Jewish districts are reborn, just like in Krakow. Objective movies are made. Let us not forget either the good or the bad. The overriding goal of each of us is education, building bridges and promoting love and tolerance.

  The young guy in the mustache is what the world needs more of. Just a nice human being doing what he is doing because it is the right thing to do. &nbsp;Not for any other reason.

  I kept thinking about what&apos;s happening right now in school districts across the country, banning books and trying to control what is taught, so that no one is made uncomfortable by the &quot;unpleasant&quot; things in our history.<br><br>We&apos;re like a lot of the Poles in this town - hiding from history and angry at those who disrupt our pretense.<br><br>I love the format. The personal stories and family pictures really brought the prewar town and Jewish community to life. <br><br>These stories and this history is, or should be, important to all of us.

  It&apos;s so good to see a young man like Zbyszek studying and uncovering real history and spreading the truth and history. He seems like a very caring young man.

  This is an incredible documentary. Thank you to everyone who was involved in making it. How hurtful it must have been to the Jewish survivors of this town. It broke my heart. The courage that it took for the two gentlemen in tracing back their early memories of hell on earth. I’m so sorry for your pain. Let us never forget our humanity. ☮️

  This is the most moving experience of Jewish powerlessness and painful feeling I have ever listened to. God help humanity.
