The fate of two sisters, Poland’s Jewish resistance, and two granddaughters’ search for answers
When Édith’s father Simon Mercier dies in Paris in 2016, she discovers to her surprise that her family has German-Polish roots. It appears that Simon was adopted by the Merciers after his father fell victim to the mass deportations of July 1942. But how did Simon end up with the Merciers, and what happened to his mother Helene?
When Édith tracks down her second cousin Tatjana near Stuttgart, the two women join forces to find answers, and to break a decades-long silence. What was life like for Helene’s sister, Tatjana’s grandmother Lilo, in German-occupied Poland?
In Kraków, they discover a pharmacy that played a key role not only in Lilo’s life, but in the Jewish resistance.
Based on true events.
