In the few last months of the Second World War, thirteen-year-old Alina Peretti, along with her mother & sister, was one of thirteen thousand non-Jewish Poles sent to Auschwitz. Her experiences there cast a shadow over the rest of her life. Now ninety, Alina has been diagnosed with dementia. Together, mother & son begin a race against time to record her memories & preserve her family’s story.
