The filmmaker Daniel Lombroso (@dlumbo) grew up around Holocaust survivors. “The stories were so commonplace in our community that it was possible, as a kid, to shrug them off,” he writes, in the introduction to his new film, “Nina & Irena.” His grandmother, Nina, was a rock in his life and a voice of moral clarity. She was seven years old and living in Poland when Hitler invaded and started the Second World War. “I sensed that the attributes that made her so special were a product of her history, but I didn’t probe,” Lombroso writes.

As Lombroso got older, he discovered that most people in his adult life had never met a Holocaust survivor. In the summer of 2022, he called his grandmother, asking to make a film about her life. “We’re a vanishing breed,” she said. “So, if you want to do this, you’d better hurry.” The resulting film tells Nina’s story: her assimilated upbringing in Poland; hiding with fake papers opposite the Warsaw ghetto and seeing corpses on the street; the disappearance of her sister and around 25 family members; and her father’s charismatic ability to repeatedly talk his way out of death. Throughout the film, the depth of Nina’s strength and humanity shines through. “We are all born little adorable children,” she asked. “What happens?” Watch the short documentary, presented by the legendary filmmaker Errol Morris, at the link in our bio.
