Rumbula's Echo shows how family history ties us all to historical events, including the Holocaust, inspiring viewers to explore and document their own family stories. By including the words of victims, rescuers, the rescued, resisters, bystanders, collaborators, and perpetrators the film illuminates how a complex dynamic of relationships underlie mass murder. As it concludes, Rumbula's Echo suggests we ponder the overlooked price the world pays for genocide, the absence of the murdered’s contributions to society.
