A realistic and documentary portrayal—an insight into the raw nature of humanity in times of crisis, such as in war. For most of us, memories are merely random fragments in the brain. For writer Iboja Wandall-Holm, they are not. In her poems and memoirs, Iboja Wandall-Holm recounts her experiences during WWII and her time in the Auschwitz concentration camp—both heartbreaking and humorous, with sharp senses and the kind of poetry that true literature is made of.

Author Iboja Wandall-Holm experienced the horrors of war firsthand. This documentary bears witness to how humanity can survive—even through art—against all odds. Her story is both timeless and deeply relevant, especially today.

The documentary was filmed in two periods, in 1992 and in 2024, when Iboja Wandall-Holm is 102 years old.
