By the time of his death at age sixteen in Auschwitz, Petr Ginz had created over 170 drawings and paintings, edited an underground magazine in the Theresienstadt Concentration Camp, and written numerous short stories. Through his writings and the filmmakers' exquisite animations of his artwork, we follow Petr Ginz’s journey from child to young adult, from innocence to the painful awareness of inhumanity, from young artist to prodigy, and in so doing witness history from a unique perspective.
