In November 1996, while Americans traditionally celebrated Thanksgiving, one hundred and fifty people from seven countries gathered at the Nazi death camp in Auschwitz, Poland for five days of meditation and reflection on the horrors of the Holocaust. After appreciating Auschwitz as the scene of perhaps the greatest crime of the twentieth century, this film demonstrates how places like Auschwitz can become a source for healing in our time and all time to come. A poignant and powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit. DIR Michael O'Keefe PROD Brett Weinstock
