About the event
This mesmerising documentary brings the images of murdered Jews of Nasielsk to life.
Whilst on holiday in Europe in 1938 a Jewish American man shot 200 seconds of cine film in the small town of Nasielsk, Poland, the place of his birth some 50 years earlier. These were the last moving images of a 3000-strong Jewish community soon to be murdered by the Nazis at Treblinka.
This astonishing recent documentary expands and elevates a 3 minute home-movie into a beautiful, forensic examination of a community obliterated.
