Jewish and Israeli Film Festival: Among Neighbors

2025 ∙ Documentary ∙ 100 minutes ∙ English, Polish ∙ Yoav Potash

Combining magical realism and evocative hand-drawn animation with revelatory
interviews and verité footage, this stunning documentary examines the story of
a small, rural town where Jews and Polish Catholics lived side by side for
centuries before World War II. The film brings the Polish response to the
Holocaust to life through the last living eyewitnesses, revealing both love
and betrayal as it zeroes in on one of the last living Holocaust survivors
from the town, and an aging eyewitness who saw Jews murdered there — not by
Nazis, but by her own Polish neighbors.
