The documentary novel Bat Ami is a tragic yet powerful story of a Ukrainian-Jewish family in Kyiv during the Second World War. In the summer of 1941, Ilya Goldinov, a boxer and multiple champion of Ukraine in the pre-war years, became the commander of a partisan unit in the Kyiv region. His wife Feliksa Tereshchenko evacuates with their young daughter and returns to the capital of Ukraine in autumn 1943 to find out the fate of her husband. The family story becomes a part of the history of the Great War, a reflection of the relations between Ukrainians and Jews during the Nazi occupation of Ukraine. Among the characters who influenced the fate of the novel's protagonists are Poltava mayor and OUN member Fedir Borkovskyi, NKVD Commissar of the Ukrainian SSR Vasyl Sergienko, head of the Kyiv Gestapo Hans Schumacher, and former partisan and MP Sydir Kovpak. Bat-Ami is the first novel written on the basis of documents of the First (Intelligence) Directorate of the NKVD of the Ukrainian SSR, which were declassified after 2011.
