There Was Once... (2011)
A teacher in a small town in Hungary searches for the lost Jews of this once-thriving community

A poignant documentary that describes a righteous Gentile's search for the lost Jews of her hometown of Kalocsa, Hungary. I highly recommend this film, which shows how anti-Semitism continues to exist through ignorance, even in a place where no Jews have lived for decades. Gabor Kalman, the film's producer/director, deserves accolades for bringing the story to the screen and highlighting the once-thriving Jewish community of his birth. The heroine of the film, Gyongyi Mago, deserves the honor she has earned from the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles for her dedication to tolerance education. I hope the film will be seen by young people throughout the world as a reminder that We Must Never Forget the Victims of Genocide!
