Summary: This documentary film depicts the journey of Holocaust survivor Esther Rotter from Israel to Poland where she was born, when in the background is the diary that she wrote when she was 14 years old. When Ester was nine-year-old she was given by her parents to a Ukrainian peasant family that hid her for two years during the war. After the war her parents' friends collected her from the villagers' home. She made aliyah and came to Kibbutz Merhavia. After sixty years Esther returns to Poland and meets her saviors. She finds out that they have been trying to find her all these years. Four of them have been recognized as Righteous among the Nations. The film includes readings of excerpts from Ester's diary, archive photographs and films, and the ceremony at Yad Vashem when they were awarded the Righteous among the Nations medal.
