This documentary takes the audience back to the concentration camp Sobibor, to Treblinka and Belzec, and to the camp Majdanek. In 2003 the film shows places of horror in southern Poland. Time vitnesses tell their stories about World War II in interviews. The film material originaly was ment to be a research for a movie about the police troop 101, that killed 1,7 million Jews in 1942/43. But the material was so shattering, that it was worth to become a documentary against forgetting.
