Overview

Henryk Greenberg is a Polish-born American who lost much of his family in the Holocaust. Certain of the location where his father and younger brother were murdered, Greenberg returns to find most of his former neighbors predictably claiming foggy memories at first; but soon their recollections come more easily.

00:00:42 BIRTHPLACE
00:03:42 My mother didn't raise me as a Jew.
00:05:40 ...and I remember her wedding... Before the synagogue.
00:07:21 What a high spirited Jewess she was.
00:08:46 And that all of us took turns giving them food
00:10:52 Here, here was the dugout.
00:12:37 They were scared of Poles and Germans alike.
00:14:35 Later, my father came, and when he found out about it
00:16:33 then, you could only wonder: "Is he Polish or not?"
00:18:41 and take him to the police station...
00:20:30 I was there, in Jadow, when the policeman called Stein shot him.
00:23:01 He became a dairy contractor at another estate.
00:24:38 And your mom kept saying: "Henio, Henio, my son..."
00:26:27 One day my mother came and said that Abram said he's moving further away
00:28:21 They were here too.
00:30:12 Do you understand? And shame... What do you think!
00:32:10 He had a son. One son.
00:33:38 How could such a villain do such a thing to a man he knew
00:35:21 - Did people see that? - They saw a wound on his head.
00:37:03 But did you see him here during the occupation
00:38:29 I won't tell.
00:39:49 I'll break those things, do you hear me?
00:41:01 I was there. It must be here.
