In this epilogue to Debbie Goodstein's groundbreaking 1987 documentary, "Voices from the Attic", she returns to Poland to visit the Grocholski family once again. The families have a shared history- Farmer Grocholski's family hid Goodstein's relatives in his attic for two years during World War II while the Nazis ravaged Poland. In "Echoes from the Attic", Goodstein brings 26 family members back to Poland with the intention of passing this remarkable history to the next generation. While there, they attend a ceremony to honor the bravery of Farmer Grocholski and his family. What happens during and after the ceremony sparks an honest, tense, and complicated conversation about the stories that remain untold, compassion, and truth in the face of the Nazi death machine.
