Zygielbojm

Overview

A haunting documentary on one man's desperate stand against the Holocaust's silence, "Zygielbojm" is the tragic tale of Polish Jew Szmuel Zygielbojm, Bund leader and member of the Polish National Council in exile. A champion of Western intervention against the Nazi Holocaust, he witnessed mass deportations and the Warsaw Ghetto liquidation before taking his own life on 12 May 1943 in protest against the world's indifference and inaction.
