The film, Document USSR-81, shown on February 19th, 1946, at the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal of the major war criminals, barely registered at the time and today largely forgotten, and yet one of the greatest films of Soviet cinema. A meticulous documentation of the war of annihilation waged by the Wehrmacht and the SS over the long years between 1941 and 1945. The victims have names and people who mourn them.
