The Test of Humanity

Synopsis

A documentary about the German Nazi occupation of the Vinnytsia region from 1941 to 1944, because it was in Vinnytsia in 1943 that the Nazis tried to justify the crimes of the Holocaust by accusing so-called Jewish agents of the NKVD of killing repressed Ukrainians during the Vinnytsia tragedy of 1937–1941. The film is based on the revelation of the age-old wisdom and interethnic tolerance of the Ukrainian people during the terrible years of war, in particular how people ended up in Jewish ghettos and concentration camps, and their Ukrainian compatriots, despite the threat of death, saved their lives.
