Wiki.

Remember Your Name (Russian: По́мни и́мя своё; Polish: Zapamiętaj imię swoje) is a Soviet-Polish film by Sergey Kolosov.

The film is based on the story of the Russian prisoner of Auschwitz Zinaida Georgievna Muravyova, who was separated there from her son Gennady. She found him only years later, when he lived in Poland under the name of Eugeniusz Gruszczynski (after the war he was taken to an orphanage in Lower Silesia, where he was adopted by Polish educator Elena Grushinska) and was a student of the Szczecin polytechnic. In 1969 in Poland, about Grushinsky was released half-hour TV movie Numer 149850. It could also be inspired by a ten-minute documentary, Children of the Rams (Dzieci rampy, 1963), directed by Andrzej Piekutowski, showing among the survivors of Auschwitz a girl who found, several years after the war, her real parents in the Soviet Union.
