כל העולם כולו גשר צר מאוד

This private story of Slovakia’s Jewish community revolving around sepia-coloured photographs is dedicated to Ján Mozolák who saved the lives of Jews who were supposed to be executed during the war. Would Yossi Steiner be the rabbi of Košice nowadays if he had not found shelter in the basement owned by the Slovak equivalent of Oscar Schindler? A touching and at the same time bitter story about survival, about an intimate list of Mozolák.
