Happy Jews - a film
Dir.: Jonathan Rozenbaum Photography: Itay Gross Production: Adam Mickiewicz Institute, Transfax Film Production, 2008, 6 min Artistic supervision: Maciej Drygas, Yossi Wein, Mateusz Werner Jonathan Rozenbaum tells the story of his family, particularly his father and aunts. Jonathan’s father was born in Poland in 1952 and came to Israel in 1968. „He never talked to me about this” , says the director. „All I know is that he came with his parents and his sisters and that they had to leave Poland very fast. They did not have passports with them when they arrived in Israel because they had been deprived of their citizenship. My father could not visit Poland for twenty years and now he goes there about once a year.”
