“Among Neighbors”: Spotlights The Tragedy In A Small Polish Town for International Holocaust Remembrance Day

There are many films and documentaries about World War II and the grim reality of the Holocaust of the six million Jewish lives taken at the hands of Nazi’s, and the subsequent allied victory that brought it all to an end. Or did it? The documentary “ Among Neighbors ,” shows the lingering effects of the cruelty of the Third Reich, when even six months after the end of the war, as Jewish survivors of the death camps returned to their homes and villages, they found that life could never be the same with the neighbors with whom they once enjoyed a blissful co-existence.

For seventy years one woman, who witnessed the brutal killing of five Jewish neighbors, kept her silence…. until now. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast , filmmaker, writer and director Yoav Potash, talks about the making of the film, and why so little is known of these precarious days of supposed peace, which brought so little of it to so many. And how the malignancy of Hitler’s hate continued to spread for years.
