The Podkamieners
An animated documentary series preserving the testimonies of Holocaust survivors from Podkamien, a Galician town where only 60–70 of roughly 1,000 Jewish residents survived the war. Each short film pairs first and second-hand survivor accounts with animation, giving form to stories that words alone could not carry.
Five films, five families: Yitzchak, Isidore, Mark, Benny, and Fay & Josh. Premiered at the Museum of Jewish Heritage, New York, 2018.
Director: Sarah Kamaras. Animation: Ace & Son Moving Picture Co.
