More Detail:
BARDEJOV is a Holocaust drama, available on Amazon. It is set in early 1942 in Bardejov, Slovakia. The Slovakian government is increasingly putting restrictions on the Jewish community in Slovakia, including Jews in Bardejov. For instance, they’ve put Non-Jews in charge of Jewish businesses, like the local winery. They’re doing it to appease Hitler’s war-mongering National Socialist tyranny in Germany, in hopes of avoiding a German invasion. The army officials, including the ones in Bardejov, seem to relish harassing the Jews, however.
The leader of the local Jewish Council, Refuel Lowy, played by Robert Davi, tries to soften the blows to his fellow Jews and plan for the future. However, when the Slovakian government orders the local army to round up 300 unmarried Jewish girls to make them work in a shoe factory far away, Mr. Lowy learns there is no shoe factory. The Jews in Bardejov need a plan to rescue their children.
