Drawing Against Oblivion

Synopsis: 

The Austrian Artist Manfred Bockelmann has a mission:he wants to retrieve from oblivion the innumerable children who were murdered by the Nazis and then faded away into anonymous archival statistics.Through the eyes of the artist the film embarks on trips to the USA and to Auschwitz, encountering and engaging survivors, the children of the Holocaust. A moving narrative of associations and images captivates the viewer.This film sends a powerful, positive message that history must be faced. The documentary reminds us of the importance of empathy - not just toward victims of the past, but right here, right now.
