Following the archival horror of the liberation of Nazi concentration camps, this poignant documentary chronicles a study trip organized by the Belgian Auschwitz-Birkenau Association. The film follows 120 young university students and 10 Holocaust survivors as they journey back to Auschwitz and Birkenau. Standing on the historic grounds, the youth confront the devastating past. Through deeply personal dialogues, survivors and students openly debate ethics, institutional racism, and the dangers of dictatorship.
