When Tom Linszen, a young deaf filmmaker is in search of the faith of deaf Jewish people during the war, he comes across Anna. A deaf Jewish woman that survived the horrors of Auschwitz. He contacts documentary maker Willy Lindwer and together they make this film about this moving story. In this documentary, Anna tells Tom how she survived. Because if the Nazi's would have know she was deaf when she arrived, they would have immediately gassed her. The film tells Anna's history, how she grew up as a deaf Jewish girl before the war and how she experienced and processed the events prior to and during World War II. Anna's family was located in Antwerp and was deported to Auschwitz from Mechelen. An important part of this story is communication, and the lack of it.

Anna's silent struggle

Anna's stille strijd

Het is het verhaal van Anna Vos-van Dam, die Auschwitz overleefde met de hulp van haar nichtje Jettie. Een uniek verhaal omdat mensen met een handicap geen kans hadden te overleven. In de film maakt Tom Linszen, een jonge dove niet-Joodse filmmaker, een zoektocht naar het lot van dove Joden tijdens de oorlog. Hij kwam op het spoor van Anna, een dove Joodse vrouw die het gruwelijke concentratiekamp Auschwitz overleefde. Hij benaderde documentairemaker Willy Lindwer en samen maakten zij de film. In de documentaire vertelt Anna aan Tom hoe zij dat kamp overleefd heeft. Als de nazi's hadden geweten dat zij niet alleen Joods, maar ook doof was, zou zij direct na aankomst vergast zijn. De film vertelt Anna’s levensgeschiedenis, hoe zij als doof Joods meisje voor de 2de Wereldoorlog opgroeide en hoe zij de gebeurtenissen voorafgaand aan en tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog heeft ervaren en verwerkt. De familie van Anna had zich in Antwerpen gevestigd en werd vanuit Mechelen naar Auschwitz gedeporteerd. Een belangrijk onderdeel van het verhaal is de communicatie en het gebrek daaraan.
