Based upon the many journalist interviews and the exploration of the holocaust that stemmed from Eichmann’s capture and trial in the 1960’s, articles of the holocaust explores the death and destruction of the period in a different way.
Through the interviews of nine people; a young wife and mother single-handedly running a farm in Poland whose family are away at war; a ukrainian farmer, survivor of the holomdor, becoming a murderer at babi yar and then later at Birkenau pouring out revenge on those who he believed were to blame; a father, now an old man, who lost all of his five living sons in the first world war and had created a second family when world war two broke out; a gentile wife who spent fifteen years waiting for her jewish husband to return to her; two youths who become soldiers, and the impact it had on their later life; a poem found abandoned on the wall of a cattle truck taking a child to her death; it poses many questions – but most of all, how and why?
