Pioneer Valley Jewish Film Festival - Deadly Deception at Sobibor

Using ground-penetrating radar and electrical resistivity tomography, archaeologists electronically image the hidden features of Sobibor, a site where approximately 250,000 Jews were brutally murdered in gas chambers, and where the entire camp was subsequently dismantled by the Germans. This film also sheds light on the extensive 10-year investigation conducted by a team of experts, including geoscientists, archaeologists, and geographers, which uncovered further proof of Nazi Germany's e orts to erase the evidence of their Holocaust crimes. Narrated by acclaimed actress Tovah Feldshuh, the film chronicles the painstaking archaeological e orts to reveal the extent of the Nazi cover-up as they systematically destroyed the camp, concealing their atrocities within the depths of a forest.
