Anna's War

The story takes place in 1941. The Nazis occupied Ukraine and carried out an inhumane purge of the Jews living there. Although 6-year-old Anna (played by Marta Kozlova) lost her parents in this atrocity, she miraculously survived. She hid in the abandoned fireplace flue of the Nazi commander's office, not knowing when she would be able to see the light of day again. During these days of fear, Anna carefully hid herself during the day and waited quietly for nightfall. Only when everything fell into darkness did she dare to sneak out of her hiding place and look for some food and water to sustain her very weak vitality. While trying to survive, Anna never gave up hope of finding a way to escape.
