Journey's End

A 7.5 minute promotional short film by Chris Prochownik. Near the end of WWII, two American boys, orphaned in New York are sent back to live with their only relatives in their native Ukraine (supposedly now safe under Soviet control). Their world is once again turned upside down when an escaping German troop happens upon the farm killing the aunt and uncle. They take the brothers and their cousin hostage to get safely behind the new German lines in Poland. The three boys are then put on a transport and thrust into the most notorious death camp in history: Auschwitz-Birkenau. Over a million are killed there in less than four years. Only 600 attempted escape. Now these young boys make their attempt. Two brothers, one promise to be kept at their Journey's End. Based upon historical events.
