Contents Summary
"Tango of Slaves," named after a popular tune from the Warsaw Ghetto, was produced by Ilan Ziv for his two daughters, in an effort to give them their own images of the Holocaust and their family history. Frustrated by popular Holocaust imagery, Ziv decided to take his father back to Warsaw, his former home. Tango of Slaves is the story of that return, a physical journey that became a meditative essay about history, memory, and their preservation in imagery: a meditation which has been made more pressing as the Holocaust is being inevitably transformed from a living experience into motion picture drama.
