The Scar of the Earth

Movies
A short documentary. It follows the tracks of a Jewish family in Kyiv and tells the story of horrific episode of the Holocaust. A little black cross traced on the photograph indicated the approximate place where the familyr was buried. The German army entered Kyiv on September 22, 1941. On September 28, all Jews of the city were called to a meeting place with their documents and personal possessions. On September 29, at dawn, thousands of Jews left their places with their suitcases and provision ,they were preparing for the long trip. Today Babi Yar is an understated remembrance place, that deserted park seems to keep the scars of the earth.
