Synopsis by Cammila Collar
This documentary from filmmaker Gabor Kalman tells the story of a Hungarian Catholic schoolteacher named Gyöngyi Mago, who discovers a dark history of rampant anti-Semitism in her town, and makes it her mission to spread awareness. Though her community's Jewish population was largely eliminated during the events of World War II, few seem to know or care about the atrocities that took place there, and Mago is unwilling to let people so willingly forget - especially during a time of heightened neo-Nazism.
