THE TOUCH OF AN ANGEL
A documentary film by Marek Tomasz Pawlowski
2015, 62')
This poetic documentary is the personal story of Henryk Schonker, a Jew from the town of Oswiecim, renamed Auschwitz by the Nazis. In 1939, his father was the chairman of the Jewish community, whose task was to organize the Bureau of Emigration of Jews to Palestine, at the behest of the German military authorities. This was several months before the idea of the creation of the Auschwitz Concentration Camp. This chance for legal immigration to save thousands of people has been completely unknown to the world at large. It poses difficult questions of timeless significance: had Western countries been willing to accept Jewish refugees, how many could have been saved?
