Aranka is a Holocaust survivor who has dementia. Many years before this insidious disease began to eat away at her memory, she documented here xperiences and the horrors she endured at the hands of the Nazis. Aranka met her
husband Josef in a concentration camp, separated by a barbed wire fence and without the aid of a common language. They fell in love and gave each other the strength and will to survive. Their story is told through a journey
of rediscovery by their son, Steven, taking the viewer to the ghettos, concentration camps and slave-labor factories as they are today, unearthing the horrendous occurrences long-since buried there. What lies within the
tangles of Aranka’s memory, lies beneath the surface of these places that time may have changed, but can never erase. Aranka’s words serve as a testament to the horrific circumstances of her personal experience and tell a
true story of the struggle to survive, to love and to remember.
