SYNOPSIS :

Once upon a time there was a poor woodcutter couple who lived deep in a Polish forest. Poor woodcutter lamented not having children. Once upon a time there was a Jewish family, two newborn twins and their parents, who were arrested in Paris and then deported to the Auschwitz camp. On the train that carried them to certain death, the father made a foolish gesture. In a last, derisory hope, he threw one of his twins off the train. One day when a poor woodcutter was watching a train she believed to be freight pass by, a package was thrown from it and fell in the snow. Like a gift from heaven, this little commodity turned out to be the one she so fervently awaited. A child.
