Inspired by a visit to the Yad Vashem memorial and her grandmother Miriam Lipinski (born Kristina Mendelsohn in Warsaw in 1918, died in Israel in 2005), who ran the Warsaw ghetto , Gestapo detention and the Ravensbrück concentration campHaving survived with forged papers, she used previously unpublished scenes from an unfinished German propaganda film for her film. This film was shot in the Warsaw Ghetto in 1942 shortly before the ghetto residents were deported and murdered.
