The Cemetery Requiem Aeternam

Based on a story by Ladislav Mnacko, this short film follows a Slovak civilian as he walks around a WWII cemetery for German soldiers on a hillside in Slovakia. [WARNING: contains distressing images of dead bodies, executions, and the Holocaust.]. The civilian wonders who the soldiers were and why they committed such terrible atrocities. These thoughts are accompanied by many stills depicting some of these atrocities, as well as of German soldiers at leisure and on the battlefield.
