Yom Kippur: the Day of Atonement Silvia Ruarte Funes

Birthed from a mixture of real life testimonies and fiction, YOM KIPPUR unfolds as a Jewish family suffers the horrors of the Holocaust. Through the cruelest of separations in which survival is a daily miracle, only one thought unites them: They must live to be reunited! Enduring pain in the most terrible conditions, their feelings fluctuate from hatred to love and from calm to storm. Will the child ever forget the scenes he witnessed in the "operation room" of the concentration camp? Could an enemy really help him escape? Could a love be strong enough to overcome the barriers of animosity and rancor and to arise out of the post-war chaos and destruction? Must their lives be forever bound to the cursed war booty? Could uniting themselves to the itinerary of the Nazi gold be their path to freedom? Yom Kippur will lead you step-by-step through the answers to these questions to its surprising outcome, enveloping you with its plea for love and forgiveness while bringing you to tears.
