Samson
A young Jewish man from Warsaw is imprisoned after an antisemitic incident at his university. He is released when the Second World War breaks out and manages to escape from the ghetto. However, he chooses to leave his hiding place and fight, determined to share the fate of those threatened by the Holocaust. The protagonist is compared to the biblical Samson, who sacrificed his own life.
