Centropa’s short film “Return to Rivne” now with German subtitles

by

Our award winning multimedia short film “Return to Rivne: A Holocaust Story” is now available with German subtitles on the Centropa website.

“Return to Rivne” tells the story of Shelly Weiner and Raya Kizhnerman who survived the Holocaust hidden in a hayloft, thanks to Ukrainian farmers. Separated in 1945, one of the Shelly emigrated to America after the war, Raya to Russia. It wasn’t until almost 30 years later that they were reunited. In 2013 they traveled to Rivne together, to revisit their wartime hiding place and to retell their story of survival.
