One of the few surviving documentaries depicting pre-war Jewish life in Poland and life at the Jewish Labor Bund's Medem Sanatorium, a model residential children's institution. The Medem Sanatorium, which existed from 1926 through 1942, stood as a symbol of health and enlightenment.

Modeled on Children Must Laugh, a pre-war Yiddish film about Jewish orphans, this film incorporates newsreels, actual footage of children receiving aid, and a few staged sequences.
