A young Ashkenazim namely risks a journey through Miechów in Poland in order to fulfill his obligation of honouring his deceased mother on the anniversary of her death during the Holocaust.

"Does an Auslander a Muslim from Bangladesh, have anything authentic to say about the Holocaust? Resoundingly yes: his Kaddish vignette is a quiet meditation on grief that testifies to the astonishing grace of shared compassion.—Edward Moran.’’—Film Journalist, USA.

‘’I think KADDISH is an outstanding story and Razid’s approaches to it was spot on.’’—- Ralph Score, Independent Filmmaker.

‘’Kaddish is powerful and deserves to be seen by a wide audience. Unfortunately, the themes addressed in the film are just as relevant today as the WWII setting’’—William Tierney, Film Reviewer, USA.

" I am very impressed by the short film “Kaddish”. I am rather pleasantly surprised by his acumen to tell the story in its original, and always through the proper film language the subject required. It needs some amount of resilience to make such a film. I believe "Kaddish" will take Razid a long way in the arena of serious filmdom in future."Tanvir Mokammel, Bangladeshi Filmmaker.

"A powerful drama, executed with restraint, precision and impeccable command. 'Kaddish' is tragic and life-affirming all at once, a haunting experience that stays with you long after the tail credits.”—Antonio Tibaldi.

The horrors of the holocaust distilled into the story of two men hunted like animals and held captive in an animal shed. Beautifully told, this short film says more than many feature films set in WW2. A perfect film for anyone teaching the holocaust and its deeply personal tragedies.’’—Greta Schiller, Filmmaker
