The Jews have “never,” an oath to never forget the Holocaust.

With countless stories about the death camp at Auschwitz, the Jewish people in Europe are fearful of being sent to their demise. One Jewish leader in a small town in Slovakia, Rafuel Lowy, must outsmart the local authorities to save his people in Bardejov.

Veteran actor Robert Davi leads the cast as Rafuel Lowy and his heroic efforts to stall and rescue some Jews from their fate. The rest of the cast includes Danny A. Abeckaser, Emma Renana Bardea, Julian Brass, Emil Fish, Omer Hazan, Dean Miroshnikov, Kyle Stafanski, Udi Razzin, Darren Weiss, and Herzl Tobey.

Danny A. Abeckaser directed the film from the story written by Shmuel Lynn.

Here is the official synopsis:

On a peaceful morning in 1942, the Jews of Bardejov were awoken by the sound of thunderous drumming. It was the Young Hlinka Guards—Slovakian Nazi collaborators—who plastered the town with posters announcing a Nazi work order: Every Jew must report to work. No exceptions. Lowy meets with the Bardejov Jewish Council to discuss their next course of action.

Shortly thereafter, more posters are put up with new orders: All Jewish girls will be deported for work in a shoe factor in the East. No exceptions. Lowy gathers the Council to devise a way to keep their girls home, or keep them safe while working in the show factory. But, as they soon learn, there is no show factory. The girls were going to be deported to Auschwitz. With time running out, and mounting suspicion from the Hlinka, Lowy and his community devise a plan to save their girls: to smuggle a vial of Typhus into Bardejov and infect the girls, with hopes of forcing a quarantine before imminent deportation.
