Under the Nazi Regime, the Grimm fairytale Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (along with countIess others) was mutated into anti-Semitic propaganda. But while Hitler was happy to use the Seven Dwarfs to further his aims, his fascination with the Ovitz famiIy led to more sinister plans... Actor Warwick Davis expIores the history of the Ovitz famiIy of seven Jewish dwarf performers who traveled across Eastern Europe to showcase their talents. Captured in 1944, they were spotted in the Auschwitz concentration camp queues by the notorious Dr. Josef MengeIe, who wanted to decipher the secrets of human growth. The family was deemed crucial to his research, and they quickIy became human guinea pigs, enduring endless bizarre and agonizing experiments. Parallel to the Ovitz's story, Warwick recounts his own experiences of being a dwarf. At age 11?and 2' 11? in height?Warwick got the roIe of the ewok Wicket in Star Wars, as well as returning for other roles in the franchise. This personaI, respectfuI, and intelligent journey unearths a fascinating story and charts us through moving and inspirationaI territory, dark fairytales, and human endurance. |
