Imagine this—your neighbors are being hunted down and executed. They come to your door begging for help. Would you risk your life to save theirs? Such was the choice facing Francisca Halamajowa, a Polish-Catholic woman living in Sokal during darkest days of World War II. Halamajowa chose the righteous path and hid 16 Jewish acquaintances in her tiny home for two years, cooking and caring for them under the noses of hostile neighbors and German troops camping on her property. Two families lived in a hayloft above the pigsty; another family lived in a hole carved under the kitchen floor. So complete was their isolation that each group never knew about the other. The ever-crafty Halamajowa deflected suspicions by pretending to be a Nazi sympathizer. In this powerful and beautifully made film, survivors and their descendants connect with former neighbors as they revisit Sokal. The circle is completed as this remarkable yet little known story of compassion and bravery is finally told.
