In August 1942, 270 people of Jewish nationality went on their existential journey. They walked exclusively by nights making their way through the territory occupied by the Nazis. In two months they covered 1,500 kilometers. 218 of them reached their cherished goal. They were led by one man: partisan Nikolai Kiselev, a native of Bashkortostan. The survivors of this campaign settled mainly in Israel and in America. Their descendants, which number about 2,000 people, are scattered around the world. We managed to talk with several participants of the campaign and made a film called "Never Again". The footage was made in Israel, the USA, as well as in the Russian cities of Moscow and Orenburg.
«Never again» was screened at festivals and awarded several nominations:
