JEWS BY CHOICE
POLISH TITLE: CZESKI FILM
Karniów, a small town in Czechia, used to be the home for a growing Jewish community until WWII, when the Nazis brutally took over power and not a single one of the local 450 Jews survived. A few decades later, the Czech town is struck with another disaster – Karniów is flooded during the flood of the century. The old synagogue gets damaged, too. In order to prevent its destruction, a group of inhabitants decide to bring its old glory back or maybe even give rise to a new Jewish community in their town.
