In the final days of Auschwitz, four young Jewish women—Roza Robota, Regina Safirsztajn, Ester Wajcblum, and Ala Gertner—were publicly executed for their role in one of the most daring acts of resistance in the camp’s history. Sabotage brings their story to light through the writings and memories of the youngest member of the group, Anna Wajcblum Heilman, who chronicled the smuggling of gunpowder from the munitions factory and the women’s intimate, courageous alliance. Blending archival material, animation, and Anna’s personal testimony, director Noa Aharoni restores agency and voice to women whose bravery reshaped the narrative of Holocaust resistance.

The film has resonated deeply with audiences and critics alike, winning the Best Mid-Length Documentary Award at the Israeli Documentary Forum Awards and receiving an Ophir Award nomination for Best Documentary. Sabotage has screened at major festivals worldwide—including Sarajevo, Berlin, Toronto, Chicago, and Montreal—along with Jewish film festivals across North America and Europe, affirming its place as a powerful, essential contribution to Holocaust cinema.
