Welcome to the making
of Back To Gombin,the independent video feature documentary by
Producer/Director
Minna Packer

Today's children of the survivors of genocide live with the aftereffects of the horrors their parents survived, and will be the bearers of the Holocaust into the next millenium. They will journey back to Poland - to hear a voice, remember a life, recreate a lost lineage...and find their own lives in the mist of history.
