Forgiveness is a 2008 American dramatic Holocaust film written and directed by Polish-American director Mariusz Kotowski, with a screenplay by Allan Knee. The film is marked as being the director's first feature length film.
A Roman Catholic child Apollonia Kowalski (Juli Erickson) and a Jewish child Esther Blumenfeld (Dell Aldrich), were childhood best friends in 1940's Poland. The two girls were separated when Esther was taken away to a Nazi concentration camp. When the war ended, both girls separately emigrated to the United States with their families. They remained separated thereafter.
Years later, Apollonia's daughter Maria Patterson (Shelley Calene-Black) and Esther's daughter Sarah Blumenfeld (Sydney Barrosse), have become successful professional women, but each still deals with the memories of the Holocaust via strained relationships with their respective mothers. Esther dies but has left a memoir of her experiences in the camp with her daughter, Sarah. Apollonia is confined to nursing home and though Maria tries her best to care or her, she and her mother are at constant odds. A secret that Apollonia has been hiding comes to light, and the uncovering of this secret causes Apollonia and Maria to revolve their differences and brings Maria and Sarah into each others lives.

Genres: Drama, Short,Well I guess that I was lonely
That’s why I called you on the phone
Cause in a moment of forgiveness
I didn’t want to be alone
And I guess that I was willing
More than I ever was before
Cause in a moment of forgiveness
I come knocking at your door
Baby I woke up crying last night
Just to realize that you were gone
Has it been two long years without you
Tell me now when are you gonna come home
I guess now I’m hoping
Oh that you finally understand
And in a moment of forgiveness
You reach out and take my hand
Baby I woke up crying last night
Just to realize that you were gone
Has it been two long years without you
Tell me now when are you gonna come home
And I guess that now I’m hoping
Oh that you finally understand
And in a moment of forgiveness
You reach out and take my hand
