In this powerful and candid documentary, a Holocaust survivor refuses to become embittered or broken by the tragedy. Jack Garfein, now a successful Broadway producer, returns to Auschwitz to confront his past. The sole survivor of his family he searches for the truth behind the atrocities of the camps. Garfein retraces his youth by examining public records, visiting his family home in Bardejov (in what is now the Czech Republic), and returning to Auschwitz. As he moves through the busy streets of Bardejov and the silent paths at Auschwitz, A Journey Back becomes a vivid, personal record of one man's odyssey to reclaim his heritage.
