Description: Bogdan's Journey is an award winning documentary film, which tells the story of Bogdan Białek, a trained psychologist, who takes his fellow citizens on a journey to confront the truth about the post Holocaust, 1946 massacre of Jews in which their ancestors took part in. It's a journey from horror of violance and hatered, to compassion and self understanding.
In 1946, a year after World War II ended, townspeople in Kielce, Poland went on a rampage, killing over 40 Holocaust survivors and injuring 80 more. The Kielce pogrom became a symbol of Polish anti-Semitism in the Jewish world. In Poland under communism, the pogrom was a forbidden subject, but it was never forgotten .
50 years later, Bogdan Białek , a Catholic Pole, journalist and psychologist, living in Kielce, emerges to talk publicly about the issue. It costs him dearly.
Bogdan’s Journey was filmed in Poland, Israel and the United States for almost a decade. Its two directors , a Polish Catholic and a Jewish American, combine to tell a unique story about one man and how he redeems 70 years of bitter, contested memories–by telling the truth with love.
