Synopsis:

The documentary covers the story of the Polish jew Moritz Rabinowitz who arrived in Haugesund in 1911. Seeing the potential the small town had, he settled down and started up as a tailor. Like they said in the beginning of it, it's hard to find a house in Haugesund without a cloths-hanger with "M.Rabinowitz" on it.
As the only Jewish family in Haugesund in this time, he and his family of course had to endure much from people, and he was never really accepted in social gatherings. Moritz Rabinowitz and his family went in to hiding when the Germans invaded in 1940, but after some time in hiding they all ended their lives in a concentration camp. He expressed a great love for Norway and Haugesund all his life.
