Every November an interfaith retreat is held at the notorious Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps in Poland, where more than 1 million people, nearly all of them European Jews, were exterminated by the Nazis. Why would someone participate in such a retreat? How could anyone attempt to pray or meditate in a place that silences the heart and chills the soul? Filmed over a period of seven days, this award-winning DVD tells the story of five retreatants--among them, a Rabbi, an atheist, and a Catholic priest--and how they come face to face not only with their own vulnerabilities and complicity but with new strength, peace, and glimmers of hope.
