Beyond the Tears
The film deals with the use of humor as an artistic tool for survival during the Holocaust. It focuses on a group of artists in a Nazi death camp, who articulated their perceptions of the horror around them through black humor, caricatures, irony and satire. Most of them were sent to gas chambers. Their work, drawn stealthily in the night, expressed the artist's defiance in the face of the Nazis' barbaric acts. Creating was not only a mean of self-preservation, it also served as a spiritual weapon against the oppressors. Most of them were sent to gas chamber. The few survivors say that what enabled them to endure and keep their humanity was imagination and humor.
