In June 1941, "Operation Barbarossa" began, the ground attack of the German army on the Soviet Union. This operation also marked the beginning of the final solution - the mass murder of the Jews in those areas. During this workshop, we aim to raise awareness to the Holocaust of the Soviet Jewry, through personal testimonies, most of which are taken from a series of films created by the director Boris Maftzir.
