Me'kivun ha'yaar (Voices from the Forest). 2003. Israel. Directed by Limor Pinhasov, Yaron Kaftori. In Russian, Polish, Lithuanian; English subtitles. 91 min.

“Between 1941 and 1944 more than 100,000 people, the majority of them Jews, were murdered in Ponar, a village near Vilnius. Kazimierz Sakowicz, an inhabitant of Ponar, documented the shootings as well as everyday life in the village in diary entries written on pieces of paper, calendar pages, and in exercise books. Based on these diary extracts, the film contrasts the memories of the village inhabitants with those of the survivors.” (Arsenal)
