THE PERETZNIKS

POLISH TITLE: PERECOWICZE

The film tells the story of a Jewish school in Lodz. The school was shut down following the communist anti-Semitic campaign, which took place in Poland in 1968. As a result, the Peretz School graduates are dispersed today among the USA, Israel, Poland, and other countries. The bittersweet memories of their youth in post-war Poland are what binds the Peretzniks together till this day
