Deadly Deception at Sobibor

Preparing for a coming era without Holocaust survivors, filmmaker Gary Hochman’s riveting new documentary, Deadly Deception at Sobibor, highlights scientific technologies that have allowed archaeologists to bring proof of Nazi crimes. Using ground-penetrating radar and electrical resistivity tomography, they electronically image the hidden features of Sobibor, a site where approximately 250,000 Jews were brutally murdered in gas chambers, and where the entire camp was subsequently dismantled by the Germans. This film also sheds light on the extensive 10-year investigation conducted by a team of experts, including geoscientists, archaeologists, and geographers, which uncovered further proof of Nazi Germany's efforts to erase the evidence of their Holocaust crimes. Narrated by acclaimed actress Tovah Feldshuh, the film chronicles the painstaking archaeological efforts to reveal the extent of the Nazi cover-up as they systematically destroyed the camp, concealing their atrocities within the depths of a forest. Through unprecedented access, viewers can witness the ongoing discoveries, uncovering a chilling chapter of history that had long been shrouded in obscurity.
