SYNOPSIS
This short animated film expresses the unspeakable acts of horror perpetrated against families and children during the Second World War, but it also serves as a reminder to commemorate each individual’s distinct story. It’s based on the history of the Ujvari Family, who was deportet to the Lackenbach Roma detention camp in today’s Austria.
