The Holocaust ? Is It a Wallpaper Paste?

Director ? Mumin Shakirov
Studio ?Baktria-Film? Russia
56 min, 2013.

Last year two student sisters appearing on a Russian TV quiz show gained
instant notoriety when asked to define the word ?Holocaust?. A trip to
Auschwitz with journalist and filmmaker Mumin Shakirov dispelled their
ignorance, and brought the girls to face the history that is so rarely
mentioned in Russia today. Whose fault is it that young Russians do not know
anything about the Holocaust? Whose responsibility is it to teach them the
history of their own country and of World War II? Shakirov?s new film poses
these difficult questions as it documents two naïve young women discovering
the difficult subject of the Holocaust and grappling with its lessons.
