In 1987, in a Viennese antique shop, hundreds of color slides from World War II were found. It turned out they had been made in the Lodz Ghetto by the Ghetto's chief accountant Genewein.The picture of Ghetto life contained some of the first colour slides ever and became the basis for a film about holocaust as seen by a German accountant. The colorful world in the slides is set against vivid recollections of Arnold Mostowicz - a man who was a Jewish doctor in the Ghetto.
