Summary
"In the sixth film of the project about the Shoah in the Former Soviet Union, filmmaker Boris Maftsir set out on a journey to uncover the memory of the Holocaust in Latvia, where he was born and grew up until he made aliya to Israel in 1971. The drawers of memory open as the search exposes the complex history of the Jews of Latvia: before-during and after the Holocaust. First drawer - an unusual attempt by a group loyal to the memory of the victims to put together a full and detailed list of all the Jews who were in Latvia on the eve of WWII. Second drawer - the work of Latvian "guardians of memory" who have taken on the idea of remembering the image of their Jewish neighbors who are no longer. Third drawer - a personal drawer of Boris Maftsir who learns and discovers his own memories of the Holocaust"--Website Searching for the Unknown Holocaust, March 08, 2018.
