Synopsis by Bhob Stewart

Haris Pasovic directed this documentary about an elderly Jewish Yugoslavian Auschwitz/Birkenau survivor who, 50 years later, also lived through Serbian attacks on Sarajevo. Greta talks about her childhood in Novi Sad (a town in the former Yugoslavia), the death of family members, and the stress of the ordeal (triggering memory loss), and her post-war profession as an architecture academic. Archival footage is intercut to illustrate. Shot on Beta with a blow-up to 35mm. Shown at the 1998 Sarajevo Film Festival.
