Yalta's Last Secret

Yalta’s Last Secret reopens this silent page in history to reveal a poignant human tale of courage and resistance, as it traces the major political events that took place between 1944 and 1947 from the point of view of these survivors whose fate was kept silent for so long. Along the way, the film highlights the courage of other players involved, like Liechtenstein – the smallest country in Europe and the only one to stand up to the Soviet Union by refusing to turn over its 500 Baltic refugees. There was also General Holmston-Smislowsky, a colorful character who fought for years to send these asylum seekers to safety in Argentina, where the remaining survivors and their descendants live and speak today.
