A documentary film that takes us on a journey to relieve the director's Grandmother from her Holocaust burden. She helps a young Peruvian girl just like a polish lady helped her during the war.

A film by Added Value Creation House.

"Oy Mama" tells the story of Fira, a Holocaust survivor saved by Stacha, a Polish woman who hid her for two years. Filmmaker Noa uses interviews and illustrations to recount her grandmother's survival story, highlighting the bravery and grace of women during World War II. The documentary shows how Stacha's act of courage rippled through time, affecting not only Fira but also future generations, including Noa and Firita, the young Peruvian girl in Fira's life.
