This is a dub version of "A Journey Back", a documentary from the "Fifth Estate", aired April 9, 1986. In this documentary, a Holocaust survivor, Jack Garfein, now a successful Broadway producer, returns to Auschwitz to confront his past. The sole survivor of his family, he searches for the truth behind the atrocities of the camps. Garfein retraces his youth by examining public records, visiting his family home in Bardejov (in what is now Czechoslavakia), and returning to Auschwitz. As he moves through the busy streets of Bardejov and the empty paths at Auschwitz, the film becomes a record of Garfein's odyssey to reclaim his heritage.Language:EnglishDetailed holdings information: -
