Synopsis

Past present and future mix in this eloquent and intense portrait of documentary filmmaker David Fisher and his siblings, as they retrace the footsteps of their late father—a Holocaust survivor who was interned in Gusen and Gunskirchen, Austria.  David’s journey takes him to the U.S., where he meets American WWII veterans who participated in the liberation of his father and Gunskirchen camp.  This sparks a remarkable journey to Austria by the Fisher siblings. They joke, kibitz and quarrel, and remind us that history and memory require active discussion among the later generations.

Extended Synopsis

David Fisher, a veteran filmmaker, discovers his father’s memoir, a key to understanding the hopes and demons that plagued Joseph Fisher while he was in a concentration camp during the Holocaust. Joseph was a Hungarian Jew interned in Gusen and Gunskirchen, Austria, who later moved to Israel. His memoir was discovered only after his death. His children refuse to confront it, except for David, for whom it becomes a compass on a long journey of discovery. David goes to the U.S. and meets with American WWII veterans still experiencing post-traumatic stress caused decades before by witnessing the suffering at Gunskirchen concentration camp. During this research trip David realizes that it is unbearable to be alone in the wake of his father’s survival story.  He convinces his brothers, Gideon and Ronel, and sister Estee to join him on a sobering trip to Austria. His hope: this shared journey might release tensions and make them as close as they once were. They, for their part, cannot understand why anyone would want to dig into the past instead of enjoying life in the present.

 

The four Fisher siblings descend into the dark underground shafts of Gusen, part of an Austrian forced labor camp, where their father once slaved during the Holocaust.  Illuminated only by flashlights, the Fishers seek meaning in their personal and family histories inside the dark labyrinth of Gusen’s tunnels—a metaphor for the murky history of the Holocaust itself.  Ultimately, through their camaraderie and humanity, these four siblings become emblematic of an entire second generation still grappling with the legacy of their survivor parents and the enormity of what they endured.

 

SIX MILLION AND ONE is unique in the way it uses humor and explores the filial bonds shared by adult siblings. The Fishers joke, kibitz and quarrel, and remind us that history and memory require active discussion among the later generations. Through the alchemy of David Fisher’s filmmaking, one set of siblings becomes a microcosm of 20th century history. Their experiences, though specific to children of Holocaust survivors, tell a universal story of people whose parents’ lives have been disrupted by history, genocide and war.

Director’s Statement

My siblings didn’t want to read my father’s memoir… it contained things that were locked away for so long. I also did not want to read it and yet felt compelled to do so. I learned of Gusen village, Gunskirchen forest, beatings, hunger, cannibalism, homosexuality…. it uncovered all my father’s demons. Some names and issues were familiar—others seemed to be weird, hallucinatory, nightmarish. I set out on a quest to decipher them. I made half the journey alone. I forced the second half of the journey on my siblings, who didn’t want to participate, even while they were crawling around tunnels and enchanted forests. This isn’t a film about the Holocaust, because we spent most of our time laughing and there is nothing funny about the Holocaust; it’s about a rare kind of intimacy and sibling bond that replaced pain with bittersweet humor.
