    Synopsis

    Some of the world’s last remaining Holocaust survivors meet every week at Café Zelig in Munich, Germany. They get together to laugh and celebrate holidays, to argue and discuss various topics, but they also hold moments of silence and mourning. Some of them—and some of their children—undertake a journey into their past, back to their old home country Poland. And they talk about the difficulties they had—and still have—finding their way back to life in Germany.
