International Competition

Danny Hanoch is a Holocaust survivor. In his words, he has a BA (Bachelor of Auschwitz) and was fortunate to have a personal physician growing up: Dr. Mengele. This impressive man, who never sheds a tear, has succeeded joining every possible delegation to Poland and the death camps, but failed to do one thing: convince his children, Miri and Sagi, to visit the landscape of his lost childhood with him. In six days, inside one van, father, children and a film crew travel ‘that’ Europe, traversing the terrain where Danny was forced to ‘camp’ again and again. When they reach Birkenau, the ‘final destination’, Danny wants to fulfill a life-long fantasy: to spend the night in his old barracks, on his old bunk, with his own children. Around a tray of pizza, bought in the nearby town of Auschwitz, father and children have the inevitable blow-out filled with black humor and great pain.
