Abstract: The documentary tries a reinstatement rights of an historical period which, for various reasons has been ignored. Internet users can find staggering facts about the massacres of Dorohoi, Iasi and Bucharest, on the camps in Transnistria, about killings in Chisinau and Odessa - where they died tens of thousands of Hebrew, run by Antonescu, and about the persecution, the process of Romanization and isolation of Jews in Romania. The first shootings took place in Iasi, where Carmen Avram obtained testimonies from survivors of the "trains of death" in which, on the morning of June 30, 1941, were loaded thousands of Hebrew in hermetically sealed cars. They were transported in hot weather and crowded conditions for eight hours, a distance of 20 km, and the second time for seven days, up to Calarasi. "Over half of them died. We found people who failed to talk about it, that burst into tears, people who were witnesses, people told us that he drank urine to train because of dehydration, as does the Bank of bodies just to make room for May in the wagon. Absolutely terrible, "said Carmen Avram. Filming continued in Ukraine, in villages near the Dniester, former Romanian territory in the former ghetto in Chernovtsy, where Pro TV team talked to people who traveled on foot hundreds of miles, until they were sent to camps. In Israel, Carmen Abram met his Palt writer Sonya, who said that Transnistria has learned that the dead are not dying like in the movies, but with eyes open, mouth agape and tongue hanging out. "I met people marked the life of images, the story or the sounds they heard during the deportations and we have said since then no longer fear death, because nothing can be worse than what have lived. This is documentary and real history of Romania and impress even if we as a man, it means that all the effort worth it. Holocaust in Romania and there, we like, we do not like, have to admit that such things stood, "said Carmen Avram.
