Gisi

Gisi Fleischmann believed she could stop the Holocaust if only she succeeded to raise enough money. She led a resistance group in Slovakia which tried to stop the transports to Auschwitz by bribing Nazi officials. Recently, the Slovak National Theatre staged a play about her based on the letters she sent all over the world hoping to raise 2 million dollars the Nazis requested as ransom for saving European Jewry. Through the dialogue between film and theatre, past and present, imagination and historical facts, "Gisi" tells the story of a woman who helped to save thousands but couldn't save herself.
