Reflections on the Geography of the Holocaust Based on Soviet Film Footage: The Cases of Kremenets and Vyshnivets (July 1944)

The article looks at a Soviet film shot at the time of the liberation of Western Ukraine, and seeks to identify the locations and reconstruct the events by cross-referencing this film footage with maps, pre-war photographs, testimonies from survivors and neighbors, and archives. These images bear witness to the material destruction inherent in the Nazi genocidal enterprise. By rigorously analyzing them, they provide further documentation of the Holocaust in Soviet territories.
