This documentary film, produced by the World War II Foundation, chronicles Izzy Arbeiter's incredible story of survival a Jewish teenager in Nazi occupied Eastern Europe. Born in 1925 in Plock, Poland, he and his family were deported to the labor camp Starachowice-Julag II, where he was held until July 1944. Before his parents and his younger brother were sent to the Treblinka death camp to be killed, his father took a promise from him. These final words of his father helped motivate Izzy to somehow survive life as a slave labourer for the German war effort and the most infamous of the Nazi Death Camps, Auschwitz-Birkenau. After detention in Ausschwitz and Stutthof he was transported to Hailfingen in November 1944, later to Dautmergen. Finally he survived a death march towards Oberschwaben.
It is this unspoken promise to his father that is the foundation of Israel Arbeiter's own personal journey through unimaginable circumstances, both experienced and witnessed.
The final trip back to his old home in Poland from the United States 70 years later helps to bring closure to this very personal Holocaust journey.
Parts of the movie were shot in collaboration with the Concentration Camp Memorial Site Association Hailfingen/Tailfingen.
We feel very honoured and are thankful, that Israel Arbeiter will be present at our movie-theatre after the film to have a conversation with the audience.
