In Hiding: Stories of the Survivors and the Righteous
An educational and fictional mini-series for young people consisting of 5 short films (total duration: 71.5 minutes). Two characters – 18-year-old rapper Kon and his friend Maya – discover the history of their small town and its Jewish residents.

The series is called “In Hiding: Stories of the Survivors and the Righteous” and focuses on the experiences of hiding and helping during World War II. The series includes broad contexts of the Polish situation in the years preceding the war and during the German occupation (1939-1945), shows the varied attitudes of Poles toward Jews and the Holocaust, touches on the experience of hiding, and introduces the history and significance of the concept of Righteous Among the Nations.
