As your students view the film in their classroom or school auditorium, they will get a complete view of what occurred during the Holocaust through historical narration of the events that lead to The Final Solution. The documentary film contains archival footage obtained from the best sources in the world and the accounts of survivors of the Holocaust with their eloquent stories.
“The Absence” gives students and teachers the complete historical context of the Holocaust, featuring the survivors and their accounts.
Through testimony, historical narration, and re-enactments, the documentary shows the causes and events during World War II that lead to the systematic destruction of the European Jewry, political dissenters, and other minorities victimized by the Nazis.
We meticulously researched Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka to accurately recreate scenes of Death Camps as well as mass graves, death trucks, and labor camps, giving students deeper insight into how The Final Solution was implemented. The Absence is enriched with archival footage obtained from the most relevant sources in the world. Re-enactments with the participation of all the community are presented in the film, as well as artistical illustrations that bring messages of peace amongst the family of nations.
