Day after day, page after page, we see the ghetto world through the eyes of a teenage girl. Tamara Rostovskaja began writing her diary at the age of twelve, and finished it when she was fourteen. This makes two years of ghetto life. Even today, one feels terror when reading these yellowed-page copybooks, which she keeps with utmost care. Today she is eighty. She lives in Israel. Our film is an unknown document; a real story, the aim of which is to denounce fascism and to warn the viewer of the consequences that wars bring to the world...

What Happened in Beijing in 1900? The truth and the facts about the so-called Siege of the Legations have become obscured by misconceptions and reporting that was aimed at the prejudices of the day. The reality in Beijing was not as clear cut as reported by European correspondents. There was no siege as portrayed in the Hollywood movie, 55 Days at Peking. There were no Chinese batteries of big guns, no attacks on the walls, no heavily-armed attackers in uniform. One of the participants of the events in Beijing of June/August 1900 was a young language student who took over a hundred photographs and recorded the scenes of events. His records, discussed in this documentary, present a different version of events.
