Champ de Mars

Since the 18th century, the Lychakiv cemetery in Lviv has been the resting place of those who have defended the city against invaders throughout its history. Close to the Austro-Hungarian graves or those dating from the Second World War, a forest of flags has sprung up on freshly dug tombs, such as that of Y.L Petrov, who fell in 2023 defending the freedom of his country.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
