“Tell Me, Why?” is a love story between two people who met in one of modern history’s worse imaginable moments, the Holocaust. Nevertheless, Jurek and Stella found a strong connection that helped them to survive the persecution of the Jews. At the end of the war, however, the memories of the horrors came between them—while Jurek longed to reunite with Stella, she chose to try to forget and move on. Even now, Jurek cannot understand how, at the end of the war, she could run off with a Polish officer and flee to a life in the USA without a single word of explanation. The only thing he asks is that she at least tells him why she didn’t give their love a chance.
