Deadly Deception at Sobibor

Holocaust denial began with the Nazis at a top-secret death camp called Sobibor. In a compelling tale of detection, a 10-year investigation unearths evidence of a Nazi cover-up of a factory of death in a remote forest in Poland. To hide the murder of 250,000 Jews, a daring revolt, and a mass escape by 300 prisoners, the Nazis meticulously destroyed the camp. Today, a forest conceals their crime scene, but now, archeologists Yoram Haimi (Israel), Wojciech Mazurek (Poland), and Ivar Schute (Netherlands) have uncovered what the Nazis tried to erase from history. Deadly Deception at Sobibor reveals the Nazi cover-up through ground-probing radar, secret telegrams, Luftwaffe aerials, and excavation discoveries as they take place. The film weaves together history and science to expose remains of barracks, mass graves, gas chambers, and 70,000 artifacts —including metal name tags of children. Narrated by acclaimed actress Tovah Feldshuh, the film uncovers the chilling outcome of violent bigotry.
