Documentary film about the memorial site at the Sobibor Death Camp in East Poland. Sobibor was built as part of “Operation Reinhard” (the code name the elimination of Polish Jewry) and operated for two years until the mass escape of prisoners in October 1943. Participating in the film is a survivor of the camp, Thomas ‘Toivi’ Blatt, who published his memoirs in 1982 in his book ‘Sobibor – The Forgotten Revolt’ and also co-wrote the screenplay for the television drama “Escape from Sobibor” (1987). Includes archival photographs and interviews with officials who work at the memorial site.
