Abstract |
A drama focusing on the fate of 90 Jewish children, whose parents already had been shot during the massacre of 900 Jews in Bjelaja Zerkow (near Kiev) in 1941. The children are imprisoned because the Nazis were still occupies with other assassinations. Helmut Großcurt, Generalstabsoffizier tries to prevent the massacre on the children – in vain. The order for the murdering of the children is given. The actions are reconstructed from files, the statements of the responsible Generals and accounts of witnesses. |
