"About a Bad Dream"
Entered by CT-Czech Television
Category: Issues in Education
Eva was a little Jewish girl enjoying her childhood in Prague
when World War II began. She watched the rights of Jews gradually
being taken away until her family was forced to move to a ghetto
and finally to a concentration camp. Her father was probably killed
in the camp; her mother died on a final death march near the end
of the war. Eva managed to escape by falling asleep under a pile
of hay. She survived alone for many days through sheer willpower
and eventually was found by a Czech family who dared to hide her
until the end of the war. This moving story is based on a novel
written by Eva many years later to preserve her experiences for
future generations. It is illustrated with dramatizations, archives
materials, photos, drawings, simple animation and straightforward
narration. The combination of these different elements recreates
the essential nature of Holocaust and its true meaning.
