Synopsis

The film is based on the testimonies of Holocaust survivors, recorded by the Shoah Foundation, The Institue for Visual History and Education in Ukraine, between 1994 and 1998.

Three female students from the Faculty of Journalism at Taras Shevchenko National University also feature in the film, transcribing the witnesses’ testimonies for the production.
