 The Wiessensee Jewish Cemetery is the largest active burial ground in Europe. It has been in continuous operation under Jewish authority, even during the Nazi regime which left the cemetery and its archives unharmed. This uplifting film celebrates the immortality of memories and the importance of tradition. Interweaving historical facts, the cemetery is portrayed as it should be — a survivor. Special Guest: Marshall Karr, Co-Chair of The Temple Cemetery Committee. Panorama Audience Award, Best Documentary, 2011 Berlin International Film Festival
