This year’s Oscar foreign film race is full of movies on the Holocaust and anti-Semitism
(JTA) — Russia nominated a film about the Nazi death camp Sobibor as its entry for the Academy Award for best foreign language film. “Sobibor,” a multimillion-dollar production with state funding, centers on the 1943 escape by Jewish inmates from the camp under the leadership of Russian inmates. It was one of only two such occurrences during the Holocaust, with the other happening that same year in Treblinka.
Rusija je nominirala za Oskara film o nacističkom logoru smrti Sobiboru u kategoriju najboljeg filma na stranom jeziku. "Sobibor" je koštao milijune dolara koje je potpomagala vlada. Film govori o židovskom logorašu koji je pobjegao iz logora uz vodstvo ruskih logoraša. To je jedini takav slučaj (uz još jedan slučaj iz logora Treblinka).
Film traje dva sata, a glumi najbolji ruski glumac Konstantin Khabenskiy.
Film je baziran na povijesnim istraživanjima o logorima u Poljskoj u kojima su SS-ovci i Ukrajinci ubili 250.000 Židova.
