We Weren't The Only Ones
"A mother’s tragic experiences of war and loss, carried forward by her son."
Originally released in 2020. We Weren't The Only Ones is a documentary film. directed by Alex Zhort.
Starring John Guzlowski
Synopsis
In this short film, poet and holocaust survivor John Guzlowski bears witness to his parents’ survival of Nazi slave labor camps. More than a personal remembrance, the poem carries his mother’s plea — “tell them we weren’t the only ones” — a call to acknowledge the countless lives scarred by war, displacement, and silence. Through Guzlowski’s measured reading, the film becomes both intimate and collective: a meditation on inherited trauma, the duty of memory, and the fragile line between history and forgetting.
