Film Notes
This film tells the story of a Ukrainian family of workers during German occupation, which the father, Tarass, thinks he can ignore by barricading himself in his house The other members of the family are slowly swept by events and join the resistance movement, while the father looks after the daughter of Doctor Aron Davidovitch, who disappeared in the Babyn Yar massacre. This is the only pre-1960s Soviet fictional film that directly deals with the Holocaust on Soviet territory. The sequence, though shortened, was not banned, despite the opposition of some members of the Artistic Council of the Committee on Cinema.
