TOUCH OF AN ANGEL
POLISH TITLE: DOTKNIĘCIE ANIOŁA
The film is a documentary portrait of Henryk Schönker, a son of the President of the Jewish Community in the town of Auschwitz who survived the Holocaust. The author of the book “The Touch of an Angel” tells the story of the community and a family who came from the town whose name became synonymous with the ordeal of all Jews. At the same time Henryk bears testimony to his most profound childhood experiences: tragic moments, conversations and sounds that became etched on his memory and shaped his sensitivity as a painter.
