Summary

Five films document human courage, heroism, and triumph over intense adversities during World War II.

Some who lived (in Spanish with English subtitles): This film weaves together testimonies of Holocaust survivors now living in Argentina and Uruguay with archival and contemporary footage. It also explores the connections between Nazism and the darker chapters in Argentine history.

Eyes of the Holocaust (in Hungarian with English subtitles): Survivors who were children during the Nazi years describe the slow erosion of their lives followed by panic when the Nazis took over and attempted to liquidate the Hungarian Jewish population.

Children from the abyss (in Russian with English subtitles): This film illustrates the horror of the Nazi invasion of Russia, with the mass killings conducted by the Einsatzgruppen after the Wehrmacht had moved further into the country. It uses testimonies of survivors who were children at the time of the atrocities.

I remember (in Polish with English subtitles): This documentary juxtaposes the testimonies of four Polish Holocaust survivors with images of young people taking part in the annual March of the Years at the extermination camp at Auschwitz.

Hell on Earth (in Czech with English subtitles): This documentary tells of the inhabitants of the "model" ghetto at Theresienstadt, which was set up by the Nazis to deceive the world about how they treated Jews.
