At this moment we are working on a short animation documentary movie made with blender. Almost everything is made in Blender, we have a development blog here www.mijngelukinauschwitz.blogspot.com
The blog is in English, we are a Dutch animation team working on the Filmacademie in Amsterdam. The movie is about Hajo Meijer (87), he is a Auschwitz holocaust survivor. it's a combination of documentary and animation, so it's not fiction.

In one episode, he went to Auschwitz, where several of his relatives, not so lucky as him, died. There was a pond where the cremated ashes of the victims were dumped.
