This moving documentary tells two intertwined stories of hidden children, murdered parents, and the stones that bring healing. The first, set in the present and dealing with Holocaust remembrance, focuses on the “Stolpersteine” (stumbling stones) project originated by German artist Gunter Demnig, born in 1947, who creates commemorative brass-plated plaques that are placed in the pavement in front of the houses previously occupied by Jews throughout Europe. The concurrent story details Holland’s heartbreaking fate during the Shoah, when this Western European country saw 80% of the Jewish population annihilated. Both stories are told with compassion and care, expressing the idea Elie Wiesel articulated so well about the Holocaust: “How can we talk about it? How can we not talk about it?” Directed by Jane Wells
