This is a portrayal of events during WWII. It is billed as a truthful documentary. There are many correct representations, however a few generalizations are inaccurate. But, the work has much merit as a documentary and is worth viewing. There are some very enlightening revelations.
Where this work fell short, is in the name. To be correct, this was Vilnius - not the German name of Vilna. It indicates non Lithuanian authorship. In fact it was not about
"Lithuanians."
Also, it labels a people as equal villains along with the Russians and the Germans.
This is incorrect and a complete misrepresentation of fact and history.
The Lithuanian Partisans [Underground Lithuanian Army] fought the Germans as well as the Russians [and Poles]. But this is not about Lithuanian Partisans who fought the Communists into the 1950s.
The tragedy is man's inhumanity to man. The story is about what should never happen again, to anybody. Worth seeing and remembering and worth correcting or including omissions and miss characterizations.
