Holy Week
Andrzej Wajda’s adaptation of Jerzy Andrzejewski’s short story Holy Week surveys the relationship between Polish Christians and Polish Jews during World War II through the story of a Jewish woman who seeks sanctuary with a former boyfriend on the Christian side of the city as the Warsaw Ghetto burns.
As the Warsaw Ghetto burns, a Jewish woman seeks sanctuary with a former boyfriend on the Christian side of the city.
