Through hand-drawn animation and eyewitness testimony, this powerful documentary reveals how a peaceful town was shattered by the Holocaust. Directed by Yoav Potash and executive produced by Dr. Anita Friedman, it is both a murder mystery and a call to remembrance.

“It was honestly one of the most unique movies I’ve ever seen in my life.” – Cathy R.

“Wow. I had no idea of this story – and if it happened in this tiny Polish town, it also probably happened elsewhere. Such an important story! Watch it when it comes to your city!” – Michelle L.

“A powerful film. Gut wrenching yet beautiful. A time in history that all should know. I want to watch this again and again.” – J C.

“Such heart in the history. You will be moved.” – Tiffanie S.

“A beautiful and deeply moving film.” – Anthony G.

“Among Neighbors is powerful, beautifully crafted, and deeply resonant. I was genuinely moved by the story and the care behind every detail. It’s a film that stays with you long after it ends, grounded in truth and told with remarkable craft. A stunning achievement.” – Saul S.
