| Summary |
December 1941: a group of women and a 10-year-old girl named Sorella Epstein are photographed after being ordered to take their outer clothing off in freezing temperatures. Humiliated and silenced, they are among 3,640 Latvian Jewish women and children massacred by Nazi troops and their Latvian collaborators at Skede Beach, Latvia. Almost 80 years later, Ethel Davis, a 90-year-old Jewish Australian, is till haunted by this massacre. She is the author of a book about the Latvian Holocaust, written after she found out that her aunt and cousins were killed there. Ethel is now helping Australian-Hungarian filmmaker Peter Hegedus - whose grandmother survived the Nazi concentration camp - to explore the story behind the photo. |
