История о забытой Богом земле, отрезанной от всего мира.

Для того чтобы открыть людям истину в этом страшном мире, вывернутом наизнанку, необходимо солгать. Но тому, кто придумает спасительную ложь, она может стоить жизни.

A Jewish ghetto in the east of Europe, 1944. By coincidence, Jakob Heym eavesdrops on a German radio broadcast announcing the Soviet Army is making slow by steady progress towards central Europe.
