Premiere of the Portuguese version at the Assembly of the Republic in January 2018, on the international day in memory of the victims of the Holocaust. The exhibition was awarded by the Ministry of Education of the State of Bavaria.

SYNOPSIS: Secondary school students in Ebern, a small town in rural Bavaria, created the exhibition under the guidance of their history teacher, Daniel Hess, and in collaboration with the recently deceased local librarian and historian Cordula Kappner.

The exhibition recounts the fate of 22 children from that region of Bavaria, under National Socialism. Most of these children were murdered. They are among the 1.5 million Jewish children  killed during the Shoah. 

The first screens explain the structure of the exhibition and place the persecution of these children in the context of the extermination of the Jews. It is  also presented a brief outline of the history of the Jews in this region (Franconia) since the Middle Ages.

The pianist

Polish pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman was playing classical pieces on a Warsaw radio station when the first bombs fell on the city in 1939. With the German invasion and the start of World War II, restrictions on Polish Jews by the Nazis also began. Inspired by the pianist's memoirs, the film shows the emergence of the Warsaw Ghetto, when the Germans built walls to lock up the Jews in some areas, and follows the persecution that led to the capture and sending of the Szpilman family to the concentration camps. Wladyslaw is the only one who manages to escape and is forced to take refuge in abandoned buildings around the city, until the nightmare of war is over.
