The father’s hope that the couple was calm alive was to sigh his skeptical sons that there indeed were reliable gentiles to whom they owed their very existence, because the couple successfully hid their grandfather and his two brothers for 28 months.
I do not want to give away the rest. All I wish to say however, is that I have seen it twice, and wept profusely both times–tears of pure joy. This documentary is for everyone, and raises many factual and humanistic issues. This is a must for everyone’s collection, no matter what your faith may be.

The worthy and keen documentary “Hiding and Seeking” gets to the heart of what religion and faith are really all about.
Menachem Daum, although himself an orthodox Jew, is concerned that his two even more conservative sons - yeshiva students living in Israel - are becoming isolationist in their attitudes towards the gentile world. To exhibit to them that there are advantageous gentiles in the world, he takes them and his wife on a move to Poland to have them meet the people who risked their lives by hiding the boys’ maternal grandfather and two uncles from the Nazis during World War II. In fact, the boys and their mother owe their very existence to the astounding compassion and heroism of this “goyim” family. Although Daum was raised to seek virtually all non-Jews as enemies, his life experience has taught him that people are people and that worthy and defective do not shatter down along sectarian lines. It is this humanistic philosophy that Daum hopes to pronounce to his sons.
The “hiding” of the title - beyond the sure reference to the secretion of Jews during the holocaust - denotes what the practitioners of all religions do when they gaze themselves as somehow separate from and good to those around them, and, as a result, acquire up barriers between their hold kind and the outside world. This attitude creates divisions that, paradoxically, slay up destroying the very people they are designed to protect. The “seeking” comes in Daum’s record quest to present to his children that all people have the potential for goodness if only they determine to act upon it. Daum’s egalitarian spirit and implicit faith in human goodness - despite having himself grown up in the shadow of the holocaust - provide the inspirational beacon than shines forth from the film.
Near the extinguish of the movie, the Daums finally win to meet two of the people who risked their lives to attach the family`s relatives. The encounter is profoundly attractive and compelling, and even Daum’s sons seem transformed by the experience. But are they? “Hiding and Seeking” may be a “feel safe” experience, but it isn’t a fairy chronicle, and directors Baum and Oren Rudavsky are not terrorized to raze on an ambiguous trace. Life, we are led to gain, asks a heck of a lot more complicated questions than an 84-minute movie - even a very suitable 84-minute movie - can reply. Not poor for a film in what is usually a know-it-all genre.
Filled with laughter and tears as well as a profound insight into the human condition, “Hiding and Seeking” is a rewarding and enlightening film.
