- With the invasion of Germany into the territory of the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, a new stage in the history of the Shoah began, characterized by the massacres of Jews, exemplified in the Ukraine. "The road to Babi Yar" shows the events of the first 100 days of the occupation of Ukraine, during which the Nazis, with the participation of local residents, began killing Jews directly in their places of residence, as well as the evolution of the mass murder system in hundreds of killing sites, symbolized by Babi Yar. Conversations with historians, local residents - eyewitnesses to those events and Jewish survivors of the Shoah, presented in the film, allow us to recreate a comprehensive and painful picture of the fate of the Jews of Ukraine during the Shoah.
- In October 1947, the "Black Book" was to be published in Moscow - a collection of testimonies and articles about the murder of two million and seven hundred thousand Jews under Nazi occupation in the Soviet Union. The book was shelved by the authorities. As if the Holocaust of Soviet Jews had never occurred at all. Why did Stalin decide to hide the solid and documented evidence of the Holocaust in the Soviet Union.
- Decades after WWII, the Holocaust of the USSR Jews remained a mystery. It was only after the dismantling of the USSR that efforts were made to document and commemorate these victims. Boris Maftsir sets out on a journey to restore the memory of a Holocaust that was all but forgotten.
- The Journey of author Eli Amir and Filmmaker Boris Mafstir in search of identity and memory. Boris Maftsir sets out to trace the memories and personal identity of his friend Eli, and in the process encounters his own buried memories from the distant past in the Former Soviet Union. TARAB is a heightened spiritual and sensual state induced by Arabic music. TARAB is the music that 'Fuad Elias' heard as a young boy in Baghdad before becoming the renowned and respected Israeli author, Eli Amir. And TARAB is also the way in which Maftsir gains entry into the inner world of his eldest daughter Orit, one of the world's most well known belly dancers. It all started with the idea of putting on an evening in honor of the Egyptian diva Uhm Kultum. The writer Eli Amir decides to set up a meeting with the well know belly-dancer Orit Maftsir, who is the daughter of his friend Boris. The story could have ended at this point, but Eli Amir takes the initiative to prove to the Israeli public that without knowing, and adopting Arab culture, we have no place in this part of the world.
- The Holocaust in Russia, in the occupied territories farthest from Nazi Germany. The film combines five stories of the annihilation of the Jews, the struggle to acknowledge their murder as holocaust and the remarkable rescue of some of the Jews. A second film in Boris's documentary implores the Holocaust in the Soviet Union. The film features five stories from various parts of Russia where painful memories of the 'Unknown Holocaust' are revealed.
- The film depicts some Holocaust events that occurred during the Great Patriotic War in the Soviet territories controlled by Romania. It is the story of the hundreds of thousands of Jewish victims of the "Romanian" Holocaust.
- In November 1941, the German Army occupied the Crimea peninsula. In a short time, murderous Aktionen of the Jews begin - as in the rest of the Soviet occupied territories. The Nazis planned to turn the Crimea into an inseparable part of the Third Reich - they called it GOTENLAND - the land of the Goths. The shores of Crimea were supposed to be the shores of a German Riviera. German families were to settle in vast estates on the peninsula. The Nazi idea was not realized. But one part of the plan - the total murder of the Jews and members of the Crimean community - was carried out.
- In the sixth film of the project about the Shoah in the Former Soviet Union, filmmaker Boris Maftsir set out on a journey to uncover the memory of the Holocaust in Latvia, where he was born and grew up until he made aliya to Israel in 1971. The drawers of memory open as the search exposes the complex history of the Jews of Latvia: before-during and after the Holocaust. First drawer - an unusual attempt by a group loyal to the memory of the victims to put together a full and detailed list of all the Jews who were in Latvia on the eve of WWII. Second drawer - the work of Latvian "guardians of memory" who have taken on the idea of remembering the image of their Jewish neighbors who are no longer. Third drawer - a personal drawer of Boris Maftsir who learns and discovers his own memories of the Holocaust.
- Towards the end of winter 1941-42 almost all of the campaigns of the murder of the Jews in Eastern Belarus were already complete. In many places in western Belarus, there were still ghettos. This film describes only some of the events of the Holocaust in Belarus between summer 1942 and until the destruction of the ghettos in the fall of 1943. The town of Lachva in Belarus is actually more of a village than a city. And in its center is the only food store and a memorial to the Red Army soldiers. In a shady spot is a memorial stone for the murdered of the ghetto - with an uncharacteristic dedication- honor and glory. This memorial was erected to memorialize the uprising in the Lachva ghetto, which was one of the first such uprisings against the German invader. The rebels had not chance. They knew their fate was doomed, but they chose how to die. The uprisings in Lachva and in other ghettos in shtetls surprised the oppressors. For the first time they came upon Jews who were willing to resist. Until the Last Step presents stories of heroism and death in the ghettos of Nesvitch, Lachva, Gluboki and the brave story of escape through a tunnel in the Novogrudek ghetto. The film also exposes the Nazi's attempt to obscure the massacre of Jews that was taking place.
- We allow you to die - The story of the starvation camp Pechora on the border between Transnistria and the German occupied Vinnytsia district in the Ukraine. A "model" camp that illustrates the murderous policy of the Romanians towards the Jews: death by starvation and disease.
