Forgotten Transports: To Belarus introduce the audience to another unknown chapter of the history of holocaust – this time to the transports of Jews from Czech and Moravian towns to the ghetto in Minsk and to the extermination camp Malý Trostinec. Out of seven thousand Jews deported there from Czechoslovakia, only twenty-two survived to see the end of war.
“When the train hadn’t been moving for a couple of hours already, we thought we were at the terminal station. So we took the courage to unfold the curtains, and there are no words to describe what we saw. It was dark, the lights were on and there were two or three strange things hanging from each of the power poles. We didn’t want to believe our eyes that those things hanging there are corpses…”, says one of the people deported to Minsk at the beginning of the documentary.
