The Partisan with the Leica Camera
A frightened look of a woman, from a rare self-portrait of a couple, leads the director to a shocking family story. Hidden secrets reveal when 65-year-old son, Simon, discovers that his father, the photographer Mundek Lukawiecki, and his mother, the housewife Hannah Bern, were the commanders of a Polish assassination squad that operated during the Holocaust. The chilling facts are backed by unique photos taken in the forest by Mundek, the partisan, on his Leica camera.
