Warwick Davis and the Seven Dwarfs of Auschwitz

Story

Synopsis

Actor Warwick Davis presents the story of the Owicz family and their ordeal during WWII. From a successful musical act to being tortuously experimented on by Josef Mengele in a concentration camp, this story might have been lost to history if it weren't for the family's diminutive size, which made them both a novelty as well as an inspiration.
