An extraordinary true story of survival and courage through the
Holocaust.Poland, 1943. It was the last refuge of the desperate, a
warren of sewers underneath their city. Above, as the Nazis
destroyed the ghetto of the city of Lvov, a small band of Jews
escaped into a grim network of tunnels, living for fourteen months
with the city's waste, the sudden floods, the fumes and the damp,
the rats, the darkness, and the despair. Their only support was a
lone sewer worker, an ex-criminal who constantly threatened to
leave them. Many died; some falling into the rushing waters of the
river, some simply of exhaustion. At one point the survivors found
themselves trapped in a chamber, filling to the roof with
storm-water. Yet survive they did, even infiltrating the camps
above to find their missing relatives. When the Russians liberated
Lvov, they emerged from the sewers filthy, bent double, emaciated,
unrecognizable... but alive. This powerful story based on a long
series of interviews, and a hitherto private diary, creates a
blazing testimony to human faith and endurance.
