Romania 2013 | 71 minutes | Romanian | Hebrew subtitles

Based on documents and astonishing testimonials, this film reveals the incredible story of sale of the Jews of Romania to the State of Israel, from WW2 until 1989, reaching its climax during the reign of Nicoale Ceauşescu. The morale of this unknown story is simple: as uncomfortable as it looks, it is much better to buy and liberate a slave rather than to sell it.
