I Want to Remember, He Wants to Forget (1997, 60 minutes,
Hebrew with English subtitles) recounts the dramatic and moving story
of Solomon Adizes and his son, Isaac, of Skopje, Macedonia who were
sent by the Italians and Bulgarians to a concentration camp in WWII.
Disguised as Muslims, they managed to escape to Albania, where they
found sanctuary with Muslim villagers. Solomon pretended to be a doctor
and earned a reputation throughout the entire region. After the war,
they returned to Yugoslavia and from there immigrated to Israel. Fifty
years later father and son return to the concentration camp in the
heart of Skopje, and from there back to Albania to visit the family
that saved them from the Nazis.
