Shortly before his death in 2009, Jolanta Dylewska interviewed Marek Edelman – a member of the Bund, and veteran of both the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and Warsaw Uprising – about a somewhat surprising subject from his memoir of life during the Holocaust: love. By interspersing parts of the interview with stunningly-recreated scenes, Marek Edelman… And There Was Love in the Ghetto looks back at how Jewish women and men relied on tenderness, passion and lust in a time of unparalleled horror and depravity. The film took home awards at the Camerimage and Millennium Docs Against Gravity film festivals.
