English motion picture theaters have balked at exhibiting a new documentary film, “The Battle of Ukraine,” which has arrived from Russia, because of the gruesomeness of its realism. The film shows the Russians uncovering a pit in Kherkov containing the corpses of 14,500 Jews massacred by the Germans with machine-gun fire.
