My School
This project is a film reflection, which tells the story of a Jewish school in Lodz, Poland. The school no longer exists because nearly all of its students and teachers left Poland as a result of communist anti-Semitic purge, which took place in Poland in 1968. This film is the story of the school’s former students who are dispersed today between the US, England, Sweden, Israel and Poland. It is an attempt to give an account of the complex and multifaceted stories of hundreds of Polish Jews who were brought up and educated in the uneasy reality of post-war Poland and who carry the legacy of this very unique, Jewish only school.
