"In Search of Lost Memories" provides a behind-the-scenes look at Yad Vashem's Shoah Victim's Names Recovery Project in the Former Soviet Union. The movie follows the efforts of project staff as they seek to commemorate the name of each individual murdered in these areas during the Holocaust -- a goal hampered for decades due to the rupture in relations between the Soviet Union and Israel. The 35-minute film includes moving footage of visits to remote villages, where volunteers conduct interviews with eyewitnesses in a last-minute attempt to collect information and names that would otherwise have been lost forever.
Directed by Boris Maftsir, In Search of Lost Memories is in Russian and Hebrew with English subtitles.
