THE CHILDREN DREW DEATH
Year of production: 2012
On 8 September 1941, the German
army completely surrounded
Leningrad. Over the next 900 days,
between 630,000 and 1.5 million
people died in the trapped city.
Survivors describe a childhood with no
food or heat. They lost their brothers,
sisters, and mothers. But they also
talk about courage and love, and
remember festive New Year trees and
mandarin oranges. Based entirely on
personal stories and documents.

In World War II, children did not
have the charm of childhood.
A Russian girl, Sasha, is scared of
bombs, but when the bombs stop,
life becomes even worse. German
soldiers take over her city. Left with
no food and no school, she hides
tears from her mother, while people
are taken to Germany or are killed
on the street. All because of war...
War is also on the mind of Margot,
a young German girl. She wonders
about her breakfast, and why she
can have only one piece of bread
with marmalade instead of two.
All because of war…
All children draw. Such drawings are always full of life: flowers, sun, mother… But in the barracks of Nazi concentration camps, the
children were surrounded by death. Many years later they will draw from memory everything that is impossible to forget. They will draw
death… The concentration camps held millions of young prisoners, with numbers tattooed on their slender wrists. They were earmarked
to be used as lab rats in inhumane medical experiments. None of them were meant to survive. Little Ludovika and Krystyna, two sisters
from Warsaw captured by the Germans, were likewise intended to die in the Neuengamme concentration camp, but fate spared them.
Today, 65 years after the end of World War II, the surviving victims of Nazi horrors relate their experiences for the first time...
