The Future of The Past
A personal story of Jerahmiel Vigdor, my grandfather, a holocaust survivor which is 86 years old. He was born in the city of Buzau, Romania in 1935 and spent his childhood during the World War II and the Holocaust in Romania. The film is accompanied by his personal interview, videos and archival photos that illustrate the shaky journey he experienced, in addition to an interview with an expert in the study of the Holocaust of Romanian Jews, Dr. Raphael Vago.
The film is a journey between Romania and Israel, when Jerahmiel tells us about his hometown and take the viewer back to 1941, when he experiences abuse and bullying from children at school and the moment he and his family were expelled from home to the ghetto. He describes the long journey to Israel when they and other 15,500 Jews were taken to the detention camps in Cyprus. On 10th of August 1948, they were deliberate from the camp and arrived in Israel. This is where the significant journey in his life begins while his trying to adapt and developed in Israel and until the move to Jerusalem, where he lives to this day, at his parents' house in the German colony.
