Critically acclaimed 2011 film, directed
by Agnieszka Holland and Katarzyna
Adamik, based on true events of a rescue
of Jewish refugees in the Nazi-occupied
Lwow (Ukrainian Lviv/Russian Lvov/German
Lemberg). For over a year, a Polish Catholic
sewer maintenance worker and petty thief
Leopold Socha, plus two friends, hid and
cared for a group of hunted Jews who had
escaped the massacres and extermination
camp deportations during the liquidation of
the Lemberg Ghetto. At first they received
daily pay, but they continued long after the
money had run out and aiding Jews became
ever more dangerous.
