Vilna, The End of the Road

The unforgettable story of a brave woman and her daring and dangerous journey to survive the horrors of the Holocaust and hold on to life. Lithuania, 1941. As the Nazi forces invade the capital city of Vilna, its Jews’ lives are forsaken. Death lurks beyond every corner, not only at the hands of the German invaders, but mainly at those of local killing gangs collaborating with the new regime. Sarah Shimonovitz is not spared from this threat of death. When the Nazis round up Vilna’s Jews in the ghetto and sentence all those without essential professions to death, Sarah’s life is in grave danger. But she manages to survive the selection, moving between hiding places and evading her pursuers. Then, the Nazis decide to destroy the ghetto in its entirety and haul everyone that remains onto trains designated to the extermination camps, Sarah among them. She realizes that time is running out and she must act quickly to save herself. Mustering her courage, she jumps out of the racing train into the dark forest in the middle of the night to escape the death that surely awaits her at the camp. But now that she is off the train, can she survive the cold forests that hold many enemies in their depths? Vilna, the End of the Road is the true story of a brave woman in one of humanity’s darkest times. It is a tale of courage and survival, of human nature and its ingrained evil, but also of a strong spirit and an unyielding faith in hope.
