Synopsis
The journey of Vera Vigevani Jarach, a Jewish child, from Buenos Aires to Auschwitz begins with her escape from Italy when the racial laws are passed. In 1939, her family flees to Argentina. Her grandfather stays behind and is sent to Auschwitz, where he dies in 1944. Years later, Vera’s daughter disappears. These life experiences will turn Vera into a memory activist.
