In the winter of 1978 a Polish farmer demolishes a flight of stairs leading to his cellar and finds an old vodka bottle crammed with dozens of notes in Yiddish. Yaakov Gutterman, today an artist and teacher living in Kibbutz HaOgen, hears the news and is certain this is the bottle hidden by his father with the notes describing in detail what he witnessed during the Holocaust. The story of the search for these notes is also the story of 7-year-old Yaakov and his family’s six-year struggle to survive the war in Krakow.
