A Story about a Bad Dream was made in 2000 by director Pavel Stingl and brings to life the diary of Eva Erbenova, a little girl who survived the Holocaust. The documentary film based on her memoirs uses reenactments and has a child narrator and a naive view of World War II, in effect appealing to a slightly younger audience.
The Czech reenacted documentary film was made with the intentions of preserving Eva's personal history for her children and grandchildren. While the film has an artistic appeal for adults, it maintains a tone that's gentle enough for a younger audience. Historic footage of the Nazis, drawings made by Jewish artists from inside the deportation camp, children's drawings of concentration camps that move and develop on screen, colorful reenacted scenes of her rescue, and Eva's family photographs are complied to tell the story of a scared little girl who survived the Holocaust but lost both her parents for reasons she could not fully understand.
