"The Heavens Will Open for You" - The Story of Malka Rosenthal

This film chronicles the Jewish community in Stanislawow, Eastern Galicia, through the story of Malka Rosenthal. Malka was born in Stanislawow in 1934, the eldest daughter of a wealthy, intellectual family. Over the course of the German occupation, she lost her mother and younger brother. Her father joined the partisans, and Malka was handed over to a Polish family. For one and a half years, she was kept hidden in a barrel underground. After liberation, she was one of the survivors aboard the illegal immigrant ship “Exodus”, and eventually arrived in Israel in 1948. Malka rebuilt her life through her work and education, and by starting a new family. Her touching life story has been published and translated to many languages, portrayed on stage and in children’s books.

Thank you for sharing this remarkable story of a little girl, her mother,father. and family. She survived one of the most horrific periods in modern history. Her strength lies in her soul as she is now living in Israel. She married, had 2 daughters and 6 grandchildren. Many times she should have been killed. She lies on to tell her story of love, life and survival. What an amazing story!
