A Treasure in Auschwitz
A young Israeli hears from an elderly vendor a fantastic story about a Jewish treasure buried in Polish soil – next to the infamous Auschwitz extermination camp. During the next 5 years, he pursues these lost religious artifacts, and manages to organize a unique archaeological excavation to unearth the treasure. The digging crew begins to lose hope until one morning a shovel hits a metallic object in one of the ditches.
