On the occasion of January 27 - International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the State Cultural Institute with the media support of BTA offers online access to the presentation of the film A Question of Survival by Bulgarian documentary filmmaker Elka Nikolova.
Nikolova lives and works in New York. The film follows the story of three heroes whose childhood was spent in Bulgaria in the troubled years of antisemitic propaganda and preparations for deportation. The focus is on their fates after their families left for Palestine, through life in Europe until they settled in New York. There they meet the traumatic memories of the survivors of the Nazi Holocaust and their desire to make sense of how they got away with the tragic end.
The film uses rich documentary material, the portraits of the characters are conveyed with special warmth.
