Cabaret Polska

This film combines the documentary genre with the cabaret. Only 25 years after Nazi Germany carried out the Holocaust on Polish soil, 30,000 Jews, including intelligentsia, scientists, artists and exceptional writers, were expelled from Poland. In the anti-Semitic campaign sponsored by the state in March 1968 in Communist Poland, the last Holocaust survivors - in the pre-war country of more than three million Jewish citizens - were declared "Foreigners," "Zionists," "Cosmopolites," and "Enemies of the Polish People's Republic", and forced to leave the country. Many of the emmigrants found shelter in Scandinavia, Israel and North America, among other destinations, and were forced - again - to build a new life. The film has reflections on the March 1968 events in Poland. It examines the memory of March 1968 and its implications for the present, through personal testimonies combined with fictional cabaret segments. This is an odyssey into Polish and Jewish cultures through personal stories, history, food, languages and music
