NIUSIA

Niusia was a Holocaust survivor. Her granddaughter, Beth, only remembers an angry, dying woman. She’s ready to learn her stories, but what she discovers is all the questions she didn’t know existed, and wasn’t allowed to ask.


Through NIUSIA, Beth weaves together memories, handed-down stories, and interviews to examine the precarity of identity, and the haphazard cultural legacy second, third, and fourth generation immigrants are handed. 


Discovering what happens when aspiration becomes assimilation after fleeing war and devastation for belonging and safety, NIUSIA asks: "What does remembrance look like when all I remember is the space where questions should go?”
