Mark Donskoy

The Unvanquished, made in 1945 by the famous Soviet director, Marc Donskoi (ethnically Jewish), was one of the first Holocaust films worldwide. Set in an unnamed Ukrainian town under the Nazi occupation, the film weaves together the stories of a Ukrainian factory worker (Taras), a Jewish doctor (Fishman), and their families. In this scene, Dr. Fishman (played by the Soviet-Yiddish actor, Veniamin Zuskin) is executed along with all Jews in the town. Significantly, this scene was filmed in Babi Yar in Kiev, a place which came to symbolize the Holocaust in the Soviet Union. (fonte: Phantom Holocaust)… (meer)
