Coincidences, random actions which give the sensful whole after a while or unexpected meetings becoming crucial in your life - we usually try to remember it.
For me it was buying a bookguide about Jewish Lodz for my friend's birthday, visiting Baluty with Gosia and Rob and watching a documentary film "A ghetto named Baluty" during the same week.
Director Pavel Štingl tells some facts about a Jewish ghetto established by the Nazis in 1940. Investigates Baluty with the help of Czech Jews and inhabitants of the quarter so the documentary is very subjective and full of emotions.
It is worth seeing though focused only on poverty, alcoholism, and unemployment found in Baluty. "This is our Bronx" - says one of the Balutars from the film.
Watch it and comment!
