Softcover. Condition: Very Good. This Russian-language film script focuses on the tragic fate of a Jewish community in the Danubian port city of Izmail, situated in the historically contested region of Bessarabia. The narrative is grounded in real historical events spanning the years immediately before and during World War II, including the shifting control of the region between Romania and the Soviet Union following the 1939 German-Soviet pact, and the subsequent occupation by Romanian fascist forces. The text emphasizes the persecution and ultimate destruction of the local Jewish population, framing these events as part of the broader Holocaust, with specific reference to the influence of the Iron Guard. Scarce Russian language film script related to the Holocaust in Bessarabia. Tall octavo, 123 pp., [5] leaves of plates, 6 pp. , illustrated. Spiral bound. Cyrillic letters spelled out in Roman letters in pencil on title page; book is otherwise clean and unmarked.
