“An unexpected gem...”
Toronto Jewish Film Festival 2006
"Mystery and intrigue are offered in abundance in this thoroughly fascinating documentary."
Stina Chyn, FILM THREAT
“…Although you are miles and months away from the filmed events, suspense builds with each day that the archaeologists do and do not find something promising. The anticipation and anxiousness that you feel is maintained with Yariv’s providing an organizational and personal touch to Gat’s documentary, lending a travel-diary type of tone.
….
A Treasure in Auschwitz” is more than a story about people and situations the viewer probably never knew existed. It emphasizes the importance of knowing and remembering the past.”
George Robinson, THE JEWISH WEEK
“…an intriguing portrait of a once-thriving Jewish community that has completely vanished and a group of deeply philo-Semitic Polish archeologists committed to preserving its memory.”
