ARCHIVAL MATERIALS USED: authors quit the classical form of historical documentary fo-
from the collection of the State cussed on impersonal presentation of facts. They combine
Archive in Łódź a documentary with a poetic form, telling the story of the
ghetto with children's voices. The reality of life in the ghetto is
presented through excerpts from the autobiographical prose
of Sara Zyskind, Jehuda Lubiński's diary, Abram Koplowicz's
texts and Abram Cytryn's poems. Archival photographs were
supplemented by staged shots to create an elegiac image of
the Łódź ghetto.
