| Summary |
Every November an interfaith retreat is held at the notorious Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps in Poland where more than 1 million people, nearly all of them European Jews, were exterminated by the Nazis. Filmed over a period of seven days, In spite of darkness tells the story of five retreatants, among them a rabbi, an atheist, and a Catholic priest, and how they come face to face not only with their own vulnerabilities and complicity but with newfound strength, peace, and glimmers of hope. |
