Rescue from Auschwitz. Feat political instructor Kiselev
27 1675
December 6, 2008 marks the 95th anniversary of the birth of Nikolai Kiselev. Few people know that this man accomplished a feat during the Great Patriotic War.
Nikolai Kiselev is the commander of the Red Army who escaped captivity and ended up in 1941 in the occupied territory. By order of the Belarusian partisan command, he led 218 residents of the Jewish town of Dolginovo beyond the front line.
The officer saved their lives, making in the most difficult conditions the transition to the rear of the German fascist troops at a distance of over one and a half thousand kilometers.
The filmmakers managed to reveal the circumstances of this heroic raid, which has no analogues in the domestic and world military stories... The real participants in the events are the heroes of the documentary film. They currently reside in different countries.
Nikolai Kiselev is no longer alive, but those to whom he saved his life, remembering this man, still compare him with Moses.
The State of Israel highly appreciated the feat of the Russian partisan. Nikolai Kiselev was awarded the title of Righteous Among the Nations. His name is inscribed on the Wall of Honor in the Garden of the Righteous at the Yad Vashem memorial in Jerusalem.
The documentary won the Grand Prix at the XII International Festival of Television Programs and Films "Golden Tambourine".
