The Auschwitz album

the story of a transport
2002
This album is unique: there is not a similar album of its kind in the whole world. It documents, in about two hundred photos from every direction and from every angle, the process of arrival, the enlisting, the selection, the confiscation of property and the preparation for the physical liquidation of a Jewish transport. The most surprising and striking fact is that the Album fell into the hands of a survivor of that same death transport.

The Holocaust and "Yad VaShem"; Displaced Persons

1994
A special co-production of Yad VaShem, Israel Film Service, and Doko Video, this painful but vital memoriam traces the history of the Nazism from its earliest roots in Germany of 1918. Captures the horrors of Kristlenacht, Babi Yar, and the monstrous concentration camps, but also the heroism and bravery of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, and the Jewish partisans who desperately tried to free their brethern.
