Story
The beginning of 20 century looked very promising for Jewish people in Europe. Antisemitism was fading away across Europe, and Jews started enjoying the rights that other European people had. Many Jews enter the fields of medicine, law, science, and academic institutions. Everything seemed so idealistic until 1914 arrived and First World War. Events in the First World War and the loss of Germany made antisemitism return to Europe and lead to the biggest genocide ever – the Holocaust.
Join us while we are exploring the reasons why Nazis and Hitler choose to commit genocide against Jews and stabbed them in the back. Holocaust isn’t only genocide over Jews, but it is the ultimate betrayal of Jewish people.
The movie is currently in the post-production process. Watch the trailer above.

After the success of our first documentary movie about the Jews and 1848, we decided to make another movie. Our second movie will be the first documentary movie about Jewish history from the perspective of colorized videos.
In the movie, you will see some of the never published footage. In our second movie, we are exploring the reasons why Holocaust happened, and why Jews were betrayed by their own country. We would like to thank you for all the donations you gave to us and made this project possible.
