The most precious of all goods
As part of the exhibition "I will not remain silent! Drawn Memory in Comics" at the Kunsthaus on Wednesday, May 28, at 5:30 pm, the film "The Most Precious of All Goods".
"The Most Precious of All Goods" is the literary adaptation of Jean-Claude Grumberg's book for young people, set at the time of the Shoah.
In Poland in the winter of 1943, the wife of a woodcutter finds a baby in the snow near the railroad tracks. In an act of utter desperation, the child has been thrown from a moving train, a death train on its way to the Auschwitz extermination camp. Despite abject poverty and without thinking about the impending consequences, the childless woman takes the little girl into her care. From then on, this child - the most precious of all possessions - fundamentally changes the lives of the couple and all those whose paths it crosses. And some of them will do everything in their power to protect the girl, regardless of the risks to their own lives. His story will bring out the best and the worst in people.
Jürgen Prochnow speaks the story in the German dubbed version.
