Synopsis

This film is about one of the most horrible chapters in the 20th century Ukrainian history, the Nazi extermination of Ukrainian Jews during World War Two. From carefully recorded video interviews with the Ukrainian Holocaust survivors, a picture of unspeakable human suffering and savagery, courage and villainy, hope against all odds and resignation in the face of evil is woven together. Challenging the widespread stereotypes, the award-winning filmmaker Serhy Bukovsky, gives voice to the unheard victims of the Nazi atrocities, Jews, Ukrainians and others, as well as the forgotten heroes, a gallery of Ukrainians who risking their own lives and those of their families saved many Jews from a certain death.
