Congregation

After graduating from art school, Yuriy Zmorovych, who had just turned 23, was hired by the Museum of Folk Architecture and Life, better known as Pirogovo. Today, it is a huge open-air complex located on the outskirts of Kyiv — a valuable place if you are interested in rural huts, ancient churches, mills, and folk art. Zmorovych arrived there when there was absolutely nothing in Pirogovo. He was lucky with his job: he got to go on expeditions to villages, searching for ancient icons, paintings, and household items. And larger-scale items—primarily wooden churches. Workers would come for them, carefully dismantle the buildings piece by piece, transport them to Kyiv, and then restore the structures to their original form. Zmorovych managed to see another side to this process.

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".
