Yoav Potash's documentary 'Among Neighbors' has sparked intense controversy in Poland after airing on public television. The film, which explores the fate of Holocaust survivors who returned to their Polish hometowns only to face violence from neighbors, has been condemned by right-wing politicians as 'anti-Polish historical manipulation.'

The backlash includes calls to strip the broadcaster of its license and public statements from political figures accusing the film of distorting history. Potash, speaking from California, believes the outrage is being fueled by nationalist factions seeking to mobilize support against the center-left government.

Despite the uproar, the film remains available for streaming in Poland and has received critical acclaim, winning multiple awards. Potash hopes the controversy will draw more viewers and spark meaningful conversations about the country's history and divisions.
