Our Album From Theresienstadt

Children will always be children. To be a kid means to love life and create, despite everything that might be happening around. This Russian documentary short is stylized as a children’s album made at the Theresienstadt concentration camp — here’s the plan of our camp, and here are the drawings made by my friends. This story carries a powerful emotional charge, similar to Anne Frank’s diary — both works are naïve but powerful thanks to their childishness.
