Eyes of the Holocaust

Summary: The final film is just a segment. The Holocaust through the eyes of children, the way a child sees how the children have seen all the horror that has happened to them. It may not have been a real children’s film, but the story spans from child to child. János Szász's highly successful film, filming the fictional parts, framed the documents at the location of the shooting of the Woyczek, in the gypsy settlement on Hős utca. Here, at 15 Hős utca, he found his character, the Roma teenage girl Kati Sebella. She flips through the forgotten, torn dictionary, which comes to life through images, montages, animations, and recalls the time of persecution. The finished film finally included 25 recollection words. The creators edited their work so that the texts of the interviewees became a single big sentence. A phrase that many people say about how vulnerable a child is and how difficult it is to understand or accept the rules of the absurd adult world.
