NANA

NANA is the story of an Auschwitz survivor who spent her life fighting intolerance. Born in Poland, Maryla Michalowski-Dyamant survived Ravensbruck, Malchow and Auschwitz, where she was the forced translator for the 'Angel of Death,' Josef Mengele. Maryla dedicated her life after the war to publicly speaking about her survival to younger generations.

Directed by her 25 year-old granddaughter, NANA documents Serena's journey with her mother Alice as they retrace her grandmother's story. They explore how Maryla's outspoken activism continues today, in a world where survivors are disappearing, and intolerance, racism and antisemitism are on the rise.

“The world’s most badass grandmother brings light into this dark tale, and makes NANA an absolutely gripping film.” -The Telegram

She passed away 15 years ago, but Holocaust survivor Maryla Michalowski-Dyamant feels very much alive in the documentary made by her granddaughter, Serena Dykman. NANA proves another valuable addition to the Holocaust documentary canon, exploring Maryla's important legacy in devoting much of her later years toeducating people about the horrors she experienced and witnessed.” -The Hollywood Reporter
